Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Yeovil
For period homes in Yeovil, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks.
If your Yeovil home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. Yeovil is about 21 miles from Taunton and falls within our Somerset coverage. That includes the BA20 postcode district.
Prices in Yeovil
For Yeovil, expect roughly £1,650 to £7,950 per home, one room upwards, VAT included, adjusted for typical South West England rates. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. What moves a quote in Yeovil up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. For reference, the Concealed option in Yeovil (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) usually comes to about £3,450–£5,450.

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 Yeovil, 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. Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
A survey in Yeovil 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.
