Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes across Cornwall
For Truro landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. If you let a holiday home or annexe near Truro, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
Prices in Cornwall
Budget around £1,150–£5,950 per property, one room to the whole let including VAT for air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in and around Cornwall. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. 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. Typical Two rooms work (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) lands around £2,350–£3,650 in this area.
Single room
One wall unit for a bedroom or studio.
Two rooms
Two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split.
Whole let
Three or four rooms, with a service plan.
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
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. On a survey in Cornwall the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
