New build and renovation air conditioning in Downpatrick
For new Downpatrick extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. In Northern Ireland, cooling is mostly needed in conservatories and glazed rooms, while efficient heating benefits the whole home.
Renovations in Downpatrick are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Downpatrick sits around 23 miles from Bangor, County Down, inside our County Down area. That includes the BT30 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
First-fix work is about coordination, while the outdoor unit follows the normal planning rules for the property.
