Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Caerphilly
In South and Mid Wales, efficient heating is often as important as cooling. If your home in Caerphilly is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit.
If your Caerphilly home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. Caerphilly lies roughly 16 miles from Bridgend, and we cover it as part of Mid Glamorgan. We cover CF83 and the streets around them.
Prices in Caerphilly
Guide prices around Caerphilly run from £1,495 to £7,295 per home, one room upwards including VAT. 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 Caerphilly (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) usually comes to about £3,145–£4,995.

Low-level console in place of a radiator, rear outdoor unit.

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
Listed homes in Caerphilly 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. Wales removed its old 3 m boundary rule on 1 June 2026, so most houses in Caerphilly 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
On a survey in Caerphilly 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. 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.
