Garden room and home office air conditioning in Chard
Garden offices used every day in Chard need cooling in summer and efficient heat in winter. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
We check the armoured supply cable on every Chard garden room before quoting. Chard lies roughly 11 miles from Taunton, and we cover it as part of Somerset. We cover TA20 and the streets around them.

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
For most houses in Chard, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
A survey in Chard usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
