Wall-mounted air conditioning in Poole
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 Poole needs.
In a semi or terrace in Poole, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. Poole is about 5 miles from Bournemouth and falls within our Dorset coverage. That includes the BH15 postcode district.
Prices in Poole
Budget around £1,150–£2,950 per room including VAT for wall-mounted air conditioning in and around Poole. 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. On our South West England figures, the Popular option (quieter mid-range unit with Wi-Fi control and better seasonal efficiency for a living room) is about £1,550–£2,150.

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 Poole, 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 Poole 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.
