Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Lydney
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. For Lydney 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 Lydney, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. Lydney sits around 15 miles from Gloucester, inside our Gloucestershire area. That includes the GL15 postcode district.

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
On a survey in Lydney 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. 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.
