Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Loughborough
Summer peaks in the East Midlands make bedrooms under the roof the hardest rooms to keep comfortable. If you let a holiday home or annexe near Loughborough, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer.
For Loughborough landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Loughborough is about 9 miles from Leicester and falls within our Leicestershire coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include LE11.

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
On a survey in Loughborough 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. 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.
