Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Rugby
In the West Midlands, sizing for winter heating first and then checking summer cooling usually gives the best all-year system. Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Rugby can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first.
If you let a holiday home or annexe near Rugby, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. Rugby sits around 13 miles from Nuneaton, inside our Warwickshire area. Coverage includes CV21.

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 Rugby, 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
On a survey in Rugby 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. 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.
