Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes across Leicestershire
If you let a holiday home or annexe near Leicester, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Leicester can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. The East Midlands gets warm, dry summer spells, and loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms are where the heat builds.
Prices in Leicestershire
Our East Midlands guide price for air conditioning for landlords and rental homes is £1,095–£5,695 per property, one room to the whole let, VAT included. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the East Midlands 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. As an example, the Two rooms option (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) would typically be £2,245–£3,495 here.
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.
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. We book surveys in Leicestershire at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
