New build and renovation air conditioning in Heavitree
For new Heavitree 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.
First-fix pipework in Heavitree extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Heavitree is about 37 miles from Plymouth and falls within our Devon coverage. Coverage includes EX2 and EX1.

In South West England, our guide range for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £395–£895 per indoor position (first fix), including VAT. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. What moves a quote in Heavitree up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed.

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. Surveys in Heavitree cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
