Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Bootle
For Bootle landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus.
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Bootle can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. Our Merseyside coverage takes in Bootle, about 4 miles from Liverpool. Postcode districts we cover here include L20.

Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range.

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 Bootle, 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.

We book surveys in Bootle at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. 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.
