Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Tenby
South Wales summers can be warm and humid, and winters damp, so a reversible system earns its keep all year. If your Tenby home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see.
For period homes in Tenby, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. Tenby lies roughly 21 miles from Carmarthen, and we cover it as part of Dyfed. Homes in SA70 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Tenby
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. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. For reference, the Concealed option in Tenby (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) usually comes to about £3,145–£4,995.
Console
Low-level console in place of a radiator, rear outdoor unit.
Concealed

Mixed

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
Period homes in Tenby that are not listed can usually follow the normal rules for outdoor units, but listed buildings always need consent, and conservation areas restrict units on elevations facing a road. Since 1 June 2026, Welsh permitted development rules for outdoor units closely match England's: up to 1.5 m³, two units on a detached home, one on other homes, and MCS 020a noise compliance. Listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas have extra restrictions on units facing a road.
The survey
We book surveys in Tenby at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. 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.
