0% VAT
on your air con.
Every domestic air-conditioning install we do in the West Midlands is zero-rated for VAT. That's a 20% saving vs pre-2022 pricing — automatic, applied to your quote, no claim forms.
Prices are illustrative. Your actual saving depends on install size — always 20% of the total.
Why air con is 0% VAT.
In April 2022, the UK Government zero-rated VAT on the installation of "energy-saving materials" in residential properties. Air-source heat pumps were one of the qualifying technologies.
What most homeowners (and quite a few installers) don't realise: a modern split air-conditioning system is technically an air-source heat pump — the same technology that heats and cools. That means almost every domestic AC install we do qualifies for the 0% rate.
The zero rate was originally set to run until 31 March 2027. That's your window — book now and save 20% vs the standard-rate world.
Zero rate is residential-only. We're 100% domestic anyway — perfect fit.
Every Mitsubishi and Daikin split system we install qualifies.
The rate applies to the whole install — parts and labour, not just the unit.
How it appears on your quote.
You don't do anything. There are no forms, no rebates, no HMRC letters. We apply the zero rate directly on your written quote — the total you see is the total you pay.
