Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes across Hampshire
For Southampton 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 Southampton, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
Prices in Hampshire
In South East England, our guide range for air conditioning for landlords and rental homes is £1,395–£7,245 per property, one room to the whole let, including VAT. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting South East England labour rates and parking and access costs. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. For reference, the Two rooms option in Hampshire (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) usually comes to about £2,845–£4,445.

Two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split.
Whole let

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 Hampshire, 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. A survey in Hampshire usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
