New build and renovation air conditioning in Frome
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. For new Frome extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings.
Renovations in Frome are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Frome sits around 37 miles from Taunton, inside our Somerset area. Coverage includes BA11.
Prices in Frome
For Frome, expect roughly £395 to £895 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included, adjusted for typical South West England rates. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) would typically be £1,450–£2,950 here.

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
On a survey in Frome the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. A survey in Frome 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.
