Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes across Herefordshire
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Hereford can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. If you let a holiday home or annexe near Hereford, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
Surveys in Herefordshire cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. On a survey in Herefordshire 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.
