Air conditioning in Rugby
Our Rugby work covers air conditioning across Houlton, Hillmorton, Bilton and the town centre. Whether you have a new-build bedroom that holds its heat or an older home near the school, a reversible unit keeps it comfortable through summer and heats it well in winter too.

Can you fit air conditioning at Houlton?
Usually, once you have checked your paperwork. Houlton was approved in 2014 as 6,200 homes on 473 hectares of the former BT radio station site, adding about 15,000 residents, or 18% to the town. It now has several housebuilders working across its 1,200 acres. Each may have its own covenants, and the planning permission may carry conditions that remove permitted development rights.
The newest homes also fall under Part O, in effect since June 2022, which requires designers to limit overheating. That helps, but a well-sealed upper floor can still hold heat through a heatwave. Sources: Pinsent Masons; Houlton; Planning Portal; Planning Portal.
Which older parts of Rugby have extra rules?
Rugby Borough Council lists 19 conservation areas. In and around town these include Rugby Town Centre, Rugby School, Bilton, Bilton Road, Clifton Road with Hillmorton Road and Whitehall Road, Hillmorton Locks, Old Brownsover and Dunchurch. Permitted development rules out a unit on a road-facing wall or roof in all of them.
Big Victorian houses near the school can have the same tall rooms as Regency Leamington, so a table based on floor area alone may undersize them. The size guide explains why. Source: Planning Data.
What does a fast-growing town mean for local firms?
Rugby's population grew 14% in ten years, from 100,075 to 114,400, and a growing town brings new units and small premises. If you are in a modern unit with a mezzanine office, the office tends to get hottest first, as heat rises from the floor below. Our office air conditioning page covers landlords, planning and the 12kW inspection rule. Source: Leamington Courier.

What happens after you get in touch?
You tell us about the room
Ring 01926 967778 or send the form with your postcode, and say which rooms bother you and when.
We survey the building
We measure up, check the walls and the power, ask about the lease or listing, and agree a place for the outdoor unit. A written price follows.
Consents come before drilling
If a landlord, a freeholder or the council has to say yes, that happens now. Nothing goes on a wall until it has.
We fit, test and hand over
Units, pipework and power go in, then the system is pressure tested and started up. You leave with the certificates and know the controls. Yearly servicing keeps it right.
Questions from Rugby
Is Rugby within your normal area?
We cover CV21, CV22 and CV23, though it is one of the further towns from Leamington Spa. Send your postcode and we will confirm.
My Houlton house has a covenant about the outside. What now?
Read it, or ask the developer or the management company what it allows. A rear wall out of public view is often more acceptable, but get it in writing.
Can a heat pump replace plug-in heaters in my loft room?
Yes, and that is one of the clearest savings. See air-to-air heat pumps for the running cost comparison.
