Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Heston
If you let a holiday home or annexe near Heston, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep.
For Heston landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Heston sits around 11 miles from central London, inside our London area. Postcode districts we cover here include TW5.
Prices in Heston
Our London guide price for air conditioning for landlords and rental homes is £1,495–£7,845 per property, one room to the whole let, VAT included. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. Typical Two rooms work (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) lands around £3,095–£4,795 in this area.
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.
