Wall-mounted air conditioning in Exeter
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Exeter needs. South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much.
Where a home in Exeter faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Exeter sits around 36 miles from Plymouth, inside our Devon area. Homes in EX2 are all within our coverage.

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