Air conditioning in Birmingham

We look after homeowners across south Birmingham, from Kings Norton and Bournville to Selly Oak, Harborne and Edgbaston. City homes, from Victorian terraces to modern apartments, benefit hugely from a system that cools in summer, heats in winter and filters the air, all from one quiet wall unit.

Fitting air conditioning in Birmingham’s homes

Across south Birmingham you'll find Victorian terraces in Selly Oak and Kings Heath, the model-village housing of Bournville, interwar semis in Kings Norton and Northfield, and modern apartments around Edgbaston and Harborne. It's a real spread of eras and wall types.

Victorian terraces

Solid walls and tight side access mean careful routing, often to the rear, with indoor units placed to suit tall, narrow rooms.

Interwar & suburban semis

Cavity-walled semis are straightforward, with the outdoor unit sited discreetly to the side or rear.

Modern apartments & new builds

Flats often need freeholder or management-company sign-off for an external unit, which we help you navigate before install.

Planning & permissions

Bournville is managed by the Bournville Village Trust and, like the area's conservation zones, has stricter controls on external changes. Most residential units are permitted development, but we check the rules for your property first and, where any consent is needed, guide you through it before you commit.

How we work this out

This is an illustration, not a quote. We take today's real hourly outdoor temperature for Birmingham and estimate the electricity a modern inverter unit would use to hold a room of your chosen size (small up to about 20 m², medium 20 to 30 m², large 30 m² and up) at your target, cooling when it's warmer outside and heating when it's cooler. We assume a unit that delivers roughly 3.5 to 4 units of comfort per unit of electricity, priced at today's electricity rate of about 25.3p per kWh (we refresh this daily from Octopus; your own tariff may be higher or lower). Warming a cold room up or cooling a hot one down from scratch costs a little more at first; steady holding is gentler. Your real figures depend on your room, unit, tariff and how you use it. See how it works and what it costs for the full picture, and we'll confirm the exact sizing and your fixed price at a site visit before we install.

Most people in Birmingham never realise these units heat as well as cool. See which rooms suit it and what it costs to run.

Local FAQs

Air conditioning in Birmingham: FAQs

Do you install air conditioning across Birmingham?
Yes. We cover all of Birmingham and the surrounding area, including Kings Norton, Bournville, Selly Oak, Northfield, Harborne, Edgbaston. Get an online quote and we'll confirm the right system at a site visit before we install.
How soon can you visit in Birmingham?
Birmingham is within easy reach of our Alvechurch base, so once you're ready to go ahead we can usually arrange a site visit within a few days.
Can you fit air conditioning in a Victorian terrace in Selly Oak or Kings Heath?
Yes. These solid-wall terraces have tighter side access, so we usually route the pipework to the rear and place the indoor units to suit tall, narrow rooms, keeping everything neat. It takes a little more planning than a modern semi, which we sort out on the free survey.
I'm in a flat or a Bournville home. Do I need permission for an outdoor unit?
Often, yes. Apartments usually need freeholder or management-company sign-off for an external unit, and Bournville is managed by the Bournville Village Trust, which has stricter controls on external changes, as do the area's conservation zones. We help you navigate the approvals before any work starts.
