Air conditioning for period and listed homes across County Armagh
For period homes in Craigavon, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. If your Craigavon home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. In Northern Ireland, homes on oil or electric heating can look at air-to-air systems for efficient warmth.

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%.
Listed building consent
For a listed property in County Armagh, consent comes first: the council decides on the outdoor unit position, the pipe routes and any change to historic fabric. Conservation areas add their own limits on units facing a road. Northern Ireland has its own planning rules for outdoor units, and conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care. We confirm the position for your property before installation.
The survey
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. We book surveys in County Armagh at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
