Multi-split air conditioning in Chard
Multi-split is a good fit for Chard flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
In a house in Chard with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear. Chard is about 11 miles from Taunton and falls within our Somerset coverage. We cover TA20 and the streets around them.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
A survey in Chard usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. Surveys in Chard cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
