Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Aberystwyth
If your Aberystwyth home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. South Wales summers can be warm and humid, and winters damp, so a reversible system earns its keep all year.
For period homes in Aberystwyth, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. Aberystwyth sits around 40 miles from Carmarthen, inside our Dyfed area. That includes the SY23 postcode district.
Prices in Aberystwyth
Our South and Mid Wales guide price for air conditioning for period and listed homes is £1,495–£7,295 per home, one room upwards, VAT included. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in South and Mid Wales tend to be. 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 Concealed option in Aberystwyth (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) usually comes to about £3,145–£4,995.

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 Aberystwyth, 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. Wales removed its old 3 m boundary rule on 1 June 2026, so most houses in Aberystwyth can now have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it meets the MCS 020a noise condition. Listed buildings still need consent, and conservation areas have extra restrictions.
The survey
A survey in Aberystwyth 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. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
