Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Ferndown
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. For Ferndown landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with.
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Ferndown can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. Ferndown is about 6 miles from Bournemouth and falls within our Dorset coverage. Homes in BH22 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Ferndown
Guide prices around Ferndown run from £1,150 to £5,950 per property, one room to the whole let including VAT. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. 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.

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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
