Wall-mounted air conditioning in Launceston
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. In a semi or terrace in Launceston, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below.
Where a home in Launceston faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Our Cornwall coverage takes in Launceston, about 40 miles from Truro. We cover PL15 and the streets around them.
Prices in Launceston
Budget around £1,150–£2,950 per room including VAT for wall-mounted air conditioning in and around Launceston. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the Popular option (quieter mid-range unit with Wi-Fi control and better seasonal efficiency for a living room) would typically be £1,550–£2,150 here.

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%.
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.
The survey
A survey in Launceston usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
