Air conditioning replacement and removal in Taunton
Units over fifteen years old in Taunton homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks.
During building work in Taunton, units can be recovered and removed so the job can go ahead safely. We cover Taunton and the rest of Somerset, including Bath and Weston-super-Mare. That includes the TA1 postcode district.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Taunton, 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 Taunton cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. On a survey in Taunton 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.
