Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Bath
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Bath can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
For Bath landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Bath lies roughly 41 miles from Taunton, and we cover it as part of Somerset. We cover BA1 and the streets around them.
Prices in Bath
For Bath, expect roughly £1,150 to £5,950 per property, one room to the whole let, VAT included, adjusted for typical South West England rates. It sits near the middle of UK prices. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. On our South West England figures, the Two rooms option (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) is about £2,350–£3,650.
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.
The survey
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. Surveys in Bath cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
