Guide prices show VAT at 20%. 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
Leaseholders in Loughborough usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units. In England, permitted development allows one outdoor unit of up to 0.6 m³ on a block of flats; anything more needs planning permission.
