Wall-mounted air conditioning in Solihull
Inland West Midlands towns can see sharp summer peaks, and the same system doubles as an efficient heater in winter. Where a home in Solihull faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight.
In a semi or terrace in Solihull, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. Solihull lies roughly 7 miles from Birmingham, and we cover it as part of the West Midlands. We cover B90 and B92 and the streets around them.

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 Solihull, 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
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. We book surveys in Solihull at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
