Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Strabane
For period homes in Strabane, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. In Northern Ireland, homes on oil or electric heating can look at air-to-air systems for efficient warmth.
If your Strabane home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. Our County Tyrone coverage takes in Strabane, about 17 miles from Omagh. Homes in BT82 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Strabane
For Strabane, expect roughly £1,495 to £7,295 per home, one room upwards, VAT included, adjusted for typical Northern Ireland rates. Labour rates in Northern Ireland keep this slightly under the national middle. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. On our Northern Ireland figures, the Concealed option (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) is 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
Listed homes in Strabane 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. Northern Ireland has its own planning rules for outdoor units, and conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care. We confirm the position for your property before installation.
The survey
On a survey in Strabane 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. Surveys in Strabane cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
