Garden room and home office air conditioning in Launceston
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. Garden offices used every day in Launceston need cooling in summer and efficient heat in winter.
We check the armoured supply cable on every Launceston garden room before quoting. Our Cornwall coverage takes in Launceston, about 40 miles from Truro. We cover PL15 and the streets around them.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
Surveys in Launceston cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. On a survey in Launceston 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.
