Home gym and media room air conditioning across Cornwall
Basement and garage rooms in Truro usually need a quick check of the supply and the drainage route before quoting. Garage gyms and media rooms in Truro often face the same problem: thin walls and a lot of heat from people and equipment. 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
For most houses in Cornwall, 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
We book surveys in Cornwall at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Cornwall cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
