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.

At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. We book surveys in Cambridge at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.

FAQ

Common questions in Cambridge

Is the survey in Cambridge really free?

Yes, for new installations. The survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead.

Will the outdoor unit need planning permission in Cambridge?

Most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it meets the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions. Flats and listed buildings usually need permission or consent. We check on survey.

How much does garden room and home office air conditioning cost in Cambridge?

Our guide range in the East of England is £1,595–£3,545 per system, including VAT. The exact price depends on the rooms, the pipe route and access, and we confirm it in writing after a free survey.

How soon can you survey in Cambridge?

We offer survey dates when you enquire. Early summer is the busiest time, so spring and autumn are the easiest times to book.

Who carries out the work in Cambridge?

F-gas certified engineers working for Aircon Installers. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which trades as Aircon Installers, and your quote names who will do the work and the F-gas company certificate that covers it.

Is it worth it for winter heating?

Yes. A heat pump uses far less electricity than plug-in heaters for the same warmth, which matters in a building used all day.
