Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Aldershot
If your Aldershot home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
If your home in Aldershot is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit. Aldershot sits around 10 miles from Woking, inside our Surrey area. Homes in GU12 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Aldershot
Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Aldershot typically comes in at £1,995–£9,695 per home, one room upwards including VAT, based on South East England rates. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting South East England labour rates and parking and access costs. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. On our South East England figures, the Concealed option (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) is about £4,195–£6,645.
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 Aldershot, 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. For most houses in Aldershot, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
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. A survey in Aldershot 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.
