Wall-mounted air conditioning in Christchurch
Where a home in Christchurch faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Christchurch needs. Christchurch is about 4 miles from Bournemouth and falls within our Dorset coverage. Coverage includes BH23.
Prices in Christchurch
In South West England, our guide range for wall-mounted air conditioning is £1,150–£2,950 per room, including VAT. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. 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
For most houses in Christchurch, 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
We book surveys in Christchurch at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. A survey in Christchurch 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.
