0% VAT on domestic installations — air conditioning is classed as an air source heat pump
Home Air Conditioning Explained
A modern air conditioning unit is a heat pump — one compact system that heats and cools your home from a single wall-mounted unit. It replaces portable fans, space heaters and dehumidifiers in one go. Cooling a bedroom overnight costs around 10–15p, and in winter it heats more cheaply than gas because it runs at 400% efficiency — 4kW of output for every 1kW of electricity. All domestic installations qualify for 0% VAT.
Beyond temperature, these systems continuously filter the air — removing dust, pollen and allergens — so you breathe cleaner air all day. At night, units drop to just 19dB with a dedicated sleep mode that dims the display and slows the fan, giving you deeper, uninterrupted sleep even on the hottest nights.
Low upfront cost, low running costs, cleaner air, better sleep — and a single system that does it all year round. Most installations are completed in a day.
The Right System for Every Room
Every space has different demands — we size and position each unit for the best results
Bedrooms
Ultra-quiet 19dB units with night mode that reduces fan speed and dims the display. Sleep comfortably through the hottest summer nights without any noise disturbance.
Living Rooms
Wall-mounted or ceiling cassette units sized to cover large open areas evenly. No cold draughts, no hot spots — just consistent comfort for the whole family.
Home Offices
Maintain 20–22°C all day without opening windows or running noisy fans. Stay productive during video calls and focused through the afternoon heat.
Kitchens
Counteract the heat from ovens and hobs while maintaining good air quality. Modern units handle the extra heat load that extraction fans alone can't manage.
Loft Conversions
Lofts trap heat in summer and lose it in winter. Air conditioning is often the only way to make a converted loft liveable year-round, especially with limited ventilation.
Open-Plan Spaces
Large open areas need careful BTU calculations and airflow planning. We position units for even coverage across the full space without creating cold zones.
Conservatories & Garden Rooms
Our most popular domestic installations — we turn unusable spaces into comfortable rooms you'll use all year
Conservatory Cooling
Conservatories overheat in summer and freeze in winter due to the glass. Air conditioning solves both problems, turning your conservatory into a genuine living space rather than seasonal storage.
- Eliminates the greenhouse effect from large glass areas
- Heats efficiently in winter without running the main boiler
- Reduces condensation and humidity issues
- Compact units that blend with any interior
Garden Room Climate Control
Garden offices, studios and outbuildings are our quickest installations. External wall access makes fitting straightforward — most are completed in half a day with no mess inside your main home.
- Essential for anyone working from home full-time
- External access keeps installation simple and fast
- Single-room systems are the most cost-effective option
- Year-round use instead of just spring and autumn

Thanks to Rob and his team who were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. We had an air conditioning unit installed at home and they quickly came up with a plan of where was best to have it positioned. It all looks very neat and tidy.

Tried several different HVAC companies before finally meeting Rob Halligan and his team at High Path Air Conditioning. Great work for a fair price and a really lovely crew. Legends!
Working with Rob and his boys was absolutely painless and the results were so much more than I hoped for. My studio needed a very awkward and demanding installation. I couldn't recommend him enough.
Always an unbelievable service from Rob and the team. I have used them across 4 sites and would recommend them for all air conditioning needs. Always incredibly trustworthy and great value for a high quality job.
Super quick, friendly and very efficient service from start to finish.
Amazing service start to finish, clear pricing great work.
