Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Portadown
For period homes in Portadown, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. Northern Ireland's mild, damp climate makes efficient heating and dehumidifying the main benefits for most homes.
If your Portadown home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. Portadown lies roughly 3 miles from Craigavon, and we cover it as part of County Armagh. Homes in BT62 and BT63 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Portadown

Typical Concealed work (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) lands around £3,145–£4,995 in this area.

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
Listed homes in Portadown need listed building consent from the council before any work, and permitted development does not apply to them. We plan low-impact routes, keep outdoor units out of sight and provide the details a consent application needs. 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
On a survey in Portadown 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. Surveys in Portadown cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
