Multi-split air conditioning in Shaftesbury
Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks. Twin and triple systems suit Shaftesbury homes where bedrooms sit above the kitchen and one rear wall can take the outdoor unit.
In a house in Shaftesbury with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear. Shaftesbury lies roughly 24 miles from Bournemouth, and we cover it as part of Dorset. Homes in SP7 are all within our coverage.

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