Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Southall
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Southall can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. 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 Southall landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Southall sits around 11 miles from central London, inside our London area. Coverage includes UB1.

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
For most houses in Southall, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. On a survey in Southall 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.
