Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Stourbridge
In the West Midlands, sizing for winter heating first and then checking summer cooling usually gives the best all-year system. If your home in Stourbridge is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit.
If your Stourbridge home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. Stourbridge sits around 10 miles from Birmingham, inside our West Midlands area. Coverage includes DY8.

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 Stourbridge 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. For most houses in Stourbridge, 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
Surveys in Stourbridge cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. 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.
