New build and renovation air conditioning in Truro
For new Truro extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks.
First-fix pipework in Truro extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. As well as Truro itself, our Cornwall coverage takes in Redruth, Falmouth and the towns around them. That includes the TR1 postcode district.

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%.
Working with your builder
On build projects the main thing is timing with your builder and electrician; we fit first-fix pipework before plastering and agree the outdoor unit position early.
The survey
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. A survey in Truro 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.
