Garden room and home office air conditioning across Bristol
Garden offices used every day in Bristol need cooling in summer and efficient heat in winter. We check the armoured supply cable on every Bristol garden room before quoting. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.

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%.
Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
