Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes across Devon
If you let a holiday home or annexe near Plymouth, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. For Plymouth landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks.
Prices in Devon
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 Devon. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. On our South West England figures, the Two rooms option (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) is 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
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.
The survey
We book surveys in Devon at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. 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.
