Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Felling
For period homes in Felling, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. North East summers are cooler, so heat pump heating is often the main draw, with cooling for warm spells.
If your home in Felling is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit. Our Tyne and Wear coverage takes in Felling, about 2 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. Coverage includes NE10.
Prices in Felling
In North East England, our guide range for air conditioning for period and listed homes is £1,495–£7,295 per home, one room upwards, including VAT.

Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. For reference, the Concealed option in Felling (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) usually comes to about £3,145–£4,995.

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 Felling 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. In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
A survey in Felling 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. Surveys in Felling cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
