Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Lichfield
If you let a holiday home or annexe near Lichfield, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer.
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Lichfield can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. Lichfield sits around 27 miles from Stoke-on-Trent, inside our Staffordshire area. Postcode districts we cover here include WS13.

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 Lichfield, 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. Surveys in Lichfield cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
