Air conditioning replacement and removal in Birmingham
During building work in Birmingham, units can be recovered and removed so the job can go ahead safely. Inland West Midlands towns can see sharp summer peaks, and the same system doubles as an efficient heater in winter.
Units over fifteen years old in Birmingham homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. We cover Birmingham and the rest of the West Midlands, including Coventry and Wolverhampton. Postcode districts we cover here include B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and 3 more.

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