Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Accrington
Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year. If you let a holiday home or annexe near Accrington, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer.
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Accrington can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. Accrington is about 14 miles from Preston and falls within our Lancashire coverage. Coverage includes BB5.

If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
