New build and renovation air conditioning in Barnstaple
For new Barnstaple extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
Renovations in Barnstaple are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. We cover Barnstaple as part of Devon, roughly 49 miles from Plymouth. Homes in EX31 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Barnstaple
Our South West England guide price for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £395–£895 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. On our South West England figures, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) is about £1,450–£2,950.

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
Because the pipework is built into the structure, coordination with your builder matters more than planning here; the outdoor unit follows the same rules as any other installation.
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. A survey in Barnstaple 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.
