Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Nottingham
For Nottingham landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. East Midlands summers bring dry, sunny spells, so glazing and orientation matter most when sizing a unit.
If you let a holiday home or annexe near Nottingham, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. Nottingham is one of the main towns we cover in Nottinghamshire, alongside Mansfield and Worksop. That includes the NG1, NG3 and NG7 postcode districts.

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