Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Kingswood
Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks. Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Kingswood can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first.
For Kingswood landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Kingswood is about 31 miles from Gloucester and falls within our Gloucestershire coverage. Homes in BS15 and GL12 are all within our coverage.

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.
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. 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.
