In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon. For a home cinema in Wokingham, we place the indoor unit so airflow stays away from the screen and seating.
Basement and garage rooms in Wokingham usually need a quick check of the supply and the drainage route before quoting. Our Berkshire coverage takes in Wokingham, about 7 miles from Reading. Postcode districts we cover here include RG40.

That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the Garage gym option (3.5–5 kW unit with supply check and pump if needed) would typically be £2,145–£2,995 here.

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
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 free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
