Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Wigan
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Wigan can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first.
For Wigan landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Wigan sits around 17 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. Postcode districts we cover here include WN1.
Prices in Wigan
Our North West England guide price for air conditioning for landlords and rental homes is £1,095–£5,645 per property, one room to the whole let, VAT included. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in North West England tend to be. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. Typical Two rooms work (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) lands around £2,245–£3,445 in this area.
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
For most houses in Wigan, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
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. On a survey in Wigan 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.
