Multi-split air conditioning in Stowmarket
Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat. Multi-split is a good fit for Stowmarket flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available.
In a house in Stowmarket with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear. Stowmarket sits around 11 miles from Ipswich, inside our Suffolk area. Homes in IP14 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
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.

We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
