Step 1 of 2Two short steps. An independent installer then contacts you. There is no obligation to go ahead.
Free survey
Enquiring through this site is free and does not commit you to anything. Ask the installer whether their survey is free before they visit. We do not carry out surveys.
F-Gas certified installers
Installation must be carried out by an appropriately F-Gas-certified business. It is reasonable to ask the installer for their certificate before work starts.
Warranty
Manufacturer warranties and any cover for the installation are set by the equipment maker and the installer. Check both on the written quotation before you agree to the work.
How it works
You tell us which rooms you want to cool. We pass the enquiry to an independent installer serving your area, and you decide whether to go ahead.
See how an enquiry works
Air conditioning in Kidderminster can start with one bedroom, office or lounge, extend to two to four rooms, or cover the whole home. If you are not sure what would suit your house, you can say so in the enquiry. Tell us the rooms you want to cool, your postcode and your contact details, and we will pass the free, no-obligation enquiry to an independent local installer serving DY10 or DY11. They can discuss your requirements, whether a survey is needed and the quotation, and you decide whether to proceed. Kidderminster grew with the carpet industry, and the streets built for its workers are still a big part of the town: Victorian and Edwardian terraces with small back yards and neighbours on both sides. Air conditioning works well in those houses, but the outdoor unit needs more thought than it would on a detached house with a large garden.
What can be installed?
You can enquire about one room, such as a bedroom, home office or lounge; several rooms, meaning two to four rooms; or the whole home. If you are undecided, choose the option that says you need help deciding and explain what you have in mind to the installer.
The right arrangement depends on the rooms, the property and the proposed outdoor-unit position. The installer can discuss those options with you rather than you having to choose equipment before making an enquiry.
What happens after you enquire?
You submit the rooms you want to cool, your postcode and your contact details in two short steps. We pass the enquiry to an independent local installer serving your area, who contacts you to discuss your requirements and whether a survey is needed.
You can then review the installer's quotation and decide whether to proceed. Enquiring through this site is free and without obligation. For an outline of the factors that affect an installation quotation, see the home air conditioning costs guide.
Home offices and garden rooms
A home office is one of the rooms you can include in an enquiry, alongside a bedroom or lounge. If you are considering a garden office or garden room, mention it to the installer so the building and its position can be discussed as part of the requirements.
Terraces and small back yards
Under permitted development, a terraced or semi-detached house can have one outdoor unit. If you want to cool a front bedroom and a back bedroom, a multi-split system runs both indoor units from that single outdoor unit, with pipework taken along the outside wall in neat trunking.
Most terraces have a rear yard or a back wall with space for a wall bracket, which is usually the best spot. A unit on the front wall facing the street is only allowed at ground-floor level, and rarely looks right.
Keeping the neighbours happy
To count as permitted development, the outdoor unit's noise must stay under 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbouring window. In a terrace, that window might be only a few metres away. The installer will choose a quiet model and check the position against the noise standard before anything is fixed to the wall.
The estates
Spennells, Franche, Offmore and the other post-war and later estates are mostly semis and detached homes with cavity walls and decent-sized gardens. These are typically straightforward installations. A single room can often be done in about a day, though the installer will confirm timings.
When you are ready to request an installer quote for your Kidderminster home, provide the rooms you want to cool, your postcode and your contact details. The installer can then discuss the next step with you.
Questions from Kidderminster homeowners
Can the outdoor unit go on the front of my terraced house?
Outside a conservation area, it can go on a wall facing the road only at ground-floor level. Most people prefer the back yard, where it's out of sight and away from the pavement. The planning position for your address should be checked before work starts.
How do the pipes get from a front bedroom to a unit in the back yard?
Usually through the wall behind the indoor unit, then along the outside of the house in trunking painted or coloured to suit. Sometimes they can run internally through a loft or a cupboard instead.
Can one outdoor unit serve several rooms?
For a terraced or semi-detached house, a multi-split system can run indoor units in more than one room from a single outdoor unit. The installer will discuss whether the rooms and pipe route make that suitable for your home.
What information do I need to start an enquiry?
Choose whether you want to cool one room, two to four rooms, the whole home or whether you are undecided. You then provide your postcode and contact details so an independent local installer can contact you about your requirements.
