New build and renovation air conditioning across Somerset
Renovations in Taunton are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. For new Taunton 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.
Prices in Somerset
Budget around £395–£895 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT for air conditioning for new builds and renovations in and around Somerset. It sits near the middle of UK prices. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. For reference, the First and second fix option in Somerset (complete install priced per room including units) usually comes to 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
A survey in Somerset 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. We book surveys in Somerset at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
