Multi-split air conditioning in Ipswich
The East of England is one of the sunniest and driest parts of the UK, which makes glazed rooms and lofts hard to keep cool. In a house in Ipswich with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear.
Multi-split is a good fit for Ipswich flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available. We cover Ipswich and the rest of Suffolk, including Lowestoft and Bury St Edmunds. We cover IP1, IP3 and IP4 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
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 Ipswich at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
