A New Town with an old mix of homes
Basildon has looked different every few decades since 1949, when it was designated a New Town and the existing settlements of Laindon, Langdon Hills, Pitsea and Vange were folded into one plan. That history is why the borough's homes come in so many shapes: New Town terraces and maisonettes from the 1950s and 1960s, later semis, pockets of bungalows, and newer estate housing built on the edges of town as Basildon has grown outwards. We fit the same fixed-price, F-Gas registered air conditioning installation across all of it, with a system that heats in winter and cools in summer from one unit.
The right system for your home
Basildon Borough Council's own housing figures show the borough's stock is roughly a quarter semi-detached, over a third terraced, and the rest split between detached houses, bungalows, flats and maisonettes. That mix matters for where the outdoor unit goes and how the pipework runs. A terrace with a narrow rear garden usually has a straightforward route to an outside wall. A flat or maisonette without easy outside wall access often needs a small condensate pump, which adds £200 including VAT to carry condensation water away safely. We talk through the right setup for your specific home at a free survey, not from a generic checklist.
Fixed prices, no surprises
Every system we fit is fully supplied, installed, tested and commissioned for one fixed price, from £1,585 for the Haier Revive Plus on our Budget package through to £3,225 for a 5kW Daikin Stylish White on our Elite package. See our fixed prices for the full table and the price tool, which gives you a figure for your room before you book anything.
Close to our base
We work from near Bowers Gifford, about 6 miles by road from Basildon town centre, so getting a free survey booked is usually quick. The price on our list is the fully installed price, including VAT.
Planning permission
Most wall-mounted air conditioning on a house counts as permitted development, meaning you do not need to apply for planning permission. The exact rules depend on where the outdoor unit goes and whether your home has any existing restrictions, so it is worth checking the official planning permission guidance on GOV.UK (opens in a new tab) before work starts. We are happy to talk this through at your free survey too.
