Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Heywood
If you let a holiday home or annexe near Heywood, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks.
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Heywood can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. Heywood is about 8 miles from Manchester and falls within our Greater Manchester coverage. Homes in OL10 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Heywood
In North West England, our guide range for air conditioning for landlords and rental homes is £1,095–£5,645 per property, one room to the whole let, including VAT. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical North West England labour rates. 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. For reference, the Two rooms option in Heywood (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) usually comes to about £2,245–£3,445.
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
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.

We book surveys in Heywood at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
