Air conditioning for period and listed homes across County Londonderry
If your Derry/Londonderry home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. For period homes in Derry/Londonderry, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. In Northern Ireland, cooling is mostly needed in conservatories and glazed rooms, while efficient heating benefits the whole home.
Prices in County Londonderry
Our Northern Ireland guide price for air conditioning for period and listed homes is £1,495–£7,295 per home, one room upwards, VAT included. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Northern Ireland labour rates. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. As an example, the Concealed option (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) would typically be £3,145–£4,995 here.
Console
Low-level console in place of a radiator, rear outdoor unit.
Concealed
Ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms.
Mixed
Consoles downstairs and ducted upstairs on one system.
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 County Londonderry 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. 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
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. We book surveys in County Londonderry at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
