Home gym and media room air conditioning in Bude
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. For a home cinema in Bude, we place the indoor unit so airflow stays away from the screen and seating.
Garage gyms and media rooms in Bude often face the same problem: thin walls and a lot of heat from people and equipment. We cover Bude as part of Cornwall, roughly 45 miles from Truro. Homes in EX23 are all within our coverage.

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.

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 Bude at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
