Wall-mounted air conditioning in Ferndown
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Ferndown needs.
Where a home in Ferndown faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Our Dorset coverage takes in Ferndown, about 6 miles from Bournemouth. Homes in BH22 are all within our coverage.

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 Ferndown, 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
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. A survey in Ferndown 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.
