Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Wellington
For period homes in Wellington, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. Inland West Midlands towns can see sharp summer peaks, and the same system doubles as an efficient heater in winter.
If your Wellington home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. Our Shropshire coverage takes in Wellington, about 3 miles from Telford. We cover TF1 and the streets around them.
Prices in Wellington
For Wellington, expect roughly £1,595 to £7,795 per home, one room upwards, VAT included, adjusted for typical West Midlands rates. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. 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 £3,395–£5,345 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
For a listed property in Wellington, 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. England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
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. 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.
