Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Truro
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. If you let a holiday home or annexe near Truro, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer.
For Truro landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. We cover Truro and the rest of Cornwall, including Redruth and Falmouth. Coverage includes TR1.
Prices in Truro
Our South West England guide price for air conditioning for landlords and rental homes is £1,150–£5,950 per property, one room to the whole let, VAT included. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. For reference, the Two rooms option in Truro (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) usually comes to about £2,350–£3,650.
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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
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. A survey in Truro usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
