Multi-split air conditioning in Billingham
Cooler North East summers mean cooling is mostly needed in lofts, conservatories and rooms with large windows. Twin and triple systems suit Billingham homes where bedrooms sit above the kitchen and one rear wall can take the outdoor unit.
In a house in Billingham with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear. Billingham is about 17 miles from Durham and falls within our County Durham coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include TS23.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
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. We book surveys in Billingham at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
