New build and renovation air conditioning in Newton Abbot
First-fix pipework in Newton Abbot extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much.
For new Newton Abbot extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Newton Abbot sits around 26 miles from Plymouth, inside our Devon area. Postcode districts we cover here include TQ12.

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

A survey in Newton Abbot 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.
