Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Uppingham
Summer peaks in the East Midlands make bedrooms under the roof the hardest rooms to keep comfortable. Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Uppingham can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first.
For Uppingham landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Uppingham sits around 5 miles from Oakham, inside our Rutland area. Postcode districts we cover here include LE15.

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.
