Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Dunstable
If you let a holiday home or annexe near Dunstable, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. The East of England is one of the sunniest and driest parts of the UK, which makes glazed rooms and lofts hard to keep cool.
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Dunstable can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. Our Bedfordshire coverage takes in Dunstable, about 5 miles from Luton. Postcode districts we cover here include LU6.
Prices in Dunstable
For Dunstable, expect roughly £1,295 to £6,645 per property, one room to the whole let, VAT included, adjusted for typical East of England rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in the East of England. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. For reference, the Two rooms option in Dunstable (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) usually comes to about £2,645–£4,095.

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
