Wall-mounted air conditioning in Swindon
Where a home in Swindon faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. 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 Swindon needs. We cover Swindon and the rest of Wiltshire, including Salisbury and Trowbridge. That includes the SN1, SN25, SN26 and SN38 postcode districts.
Prices in Swindon
Budget around £1,150–£2,950 per room including VAT for wall-mounted air conditioning in and around Swindon. It sits near the middle of UK prices. What moves a quote in Swindon up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. 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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
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 Swindon at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
