Air conditioning replacement and removal in Wells
Replacements in Wells can often reuse an existing bracket and wall opening where they are sound. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
Units over fifteen years old in Wells homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. Wells sits around 24 miles from Taunton, inside our Somerset area. Coverage includes BA5.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
