Air conditioning for flats and apartments across Herefordshire
Balcony-mounted outdoor units are often the neatest solution for flats in Hereford. In Hereford apartment blocks, the freeholder's consent is usually the first thing to sort out. In the West Midlands, sizing for winter heating first and then checking summer cooling usually gives the best all-year system.

HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Consent and planning for flats
For flats in Herefordshire, the lease and the freeholder's consent come first. Planning rules for blocks of flats are stricter than for houses, and we check them before quoting. In England, permitted development allows one outdoor unit of up to 0.6 m³ on a block of flats; anything more needs planning permission.
The survey
We book surveys in Herefordshire at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Herefordshire the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
