Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Horfield
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. If you let a holiday home or annexe near Horfield, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer.
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Horfield can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. Horfield sits within our Bristol area. That includes the BS7 postcode district.

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.
