Thinking about getting air conditioning installed at home?
With the warmer summers we’re now seeing across Exmouth, Exeter and East Devon, more homeowners are choosing air conditioning not just as a luxury, but as a proper comfort upgrade.
Modern air conditioning is not just for cooling either. A good air-to-air heat pump system can keep your home cool in summer and provide efficient heating when the weather turns colder.
At SAFEXE LTD Gas, Plumbing & Heat Pumps, we install premium air conditioning systems for homeowners who want the job done properly — neat pipework, sensible unit positioning, tidy workmanship and honest advice before anything is fitted.
Ideal for Bedrooms, Home Offices and Living Spaces
Air conditioning can make a massive difference in the rooms you use the most.
Common areas we install systems include:
- Bedrooms that get too hot at night
- Loft rooms and top-floor rooms
- Garden offices and workspaces
- Open-plan kitchens and living areas
- South-facing rooms
- Conservatories and extensions
A well-positioned wall-mounted unit can make the room far more comfortable during hot weather, while also giving you a useful heating option during spring, autumn and milder winter days.
Cooling and Heating from One System
Most modern domestic air conditioning systems are actually air-to-air heat pumps.
That means they can provide:
- Cooling in summer
- Efficient heating when required
- Better temperature control
- Quiet operation
- Lower running costs compared with many direct electric heating options
For many homes, especially bedrooms and home offices, this makes air conditioning a practical year-round upgrade rather than something you only use for a few hot days.
0% VAT on Qualifying Domestic Installations
Qualifying domestic air-to-air heat pump installations are currently eligible for 0% VAT, which can make a real difference to the overall cost.
As always, eligibility depends on the type of installation and current scheme requirements, but for many domestic air conditioning installs this can be a genuine benefit.
Finance options may also be available on selected installations, subject to approval and provider terms.
Premium Installation, Not Just a Box on the Wall
A good air conditioning install is not just about choosing the unit.
The quality of the installation matters.
We look at:
- The best position for the indoor unit
- Where the outdoor unit should sit
- Pipework routes
- Condensate drainage
- Electrical requirements
- Noise and neighbour considerations
- Access for future servicing
- Appearance inside and outside the property
A neat, well-planned installation will look better, work better and be easier to maintain.
Coastal Protection for East Devon Homes
For properties close to the sea in places like Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth, Lympstone and surrounding coastal areas, we may recommend additional outdoor unit protection.
Salt air can be harsh on outdoor equipment over time, so a coastal protection coating can be a sensible upgrade to help prolong the life of the unit.
It is not always essential, but for homes close to the coast it is definitely worth discussing before installation.
How Much Does Air Conditioning Installation Cost?
Our premium domestic air conditioning installations usually start from £2,750.
The final price depends on the unit size, property layout, pipework route, electrical requirements, outdoor unit position and whether additional coastal protection is recommended.
For many enquiries, we can usually give a rough guide price from photos before arranging a visit.
Helpful photos include:
- The room where the indoor unit may go
- The outside wall behind or near that room
- The likely outdoor unit position
- Fuse board location, if possible
- Any awkward access or long pipework routes
This helps us give realistic advice early on, without wasting your time.
