The homes we fit

Fitting air conditioning in Solihull’s homes

Solihull is characterised by interwar and 1930s suburban semis, generous post-war family homes, and modern executive housing around Dorridge and Knowle. Larger rooms and bigger plots make much of it natural multi-room territory.

1930s & interwar semis

Bay-fronted semis suit a wall-mounted indoor unit per room, with the outdoor unit tucked to the side return out of sight.

Larger detached & executive homes

Bigger properties often call for a multi-split system, one outdoor unit serving several rooms, sized on survey.

Village-edge & character homes

Around Knowle and Dorridge we place equipment sympathetically to keep period and semi-rural frontages clean.

Planning & permissions

Knowle and Dorridge have conservation areas and some homes sit close to protected frontages, so unit positions are worth confirming first. 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 Solihull 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 Solihull never realise these units heat as well as cool. See which rooms suit it and what it costs to run.
