Due to recent legislation changes, and under VAT notice 708/6, energy-saving materials and heating equipment; the installation of air conditioning units, which, as well as cooling, also provide a heating mode, are now subject to zero VAT.

This recent change to the zero rating of VAT for the installation of domestic air conditioning units, in residential properties in the UK, came into effect from 1st February 2024, and at the moment, is in place until 31st March 2027.

Air conditioning units which also offer heating, can be classed as “heat pumps” as they offer dual usage (both heating and cooling).

This recent legislation on the installation of air conditioning units in domestic houses in the UK, only covers fixed installations, where there is an indoor unit on the wall inside the property, and an outdoor unit, outside of the property, which is linked with the necessary copper pipework.

Please note that this 0% VAT does not include portable / mobile air conditioning units; only the fixed installations, of split system air conditioning units.

If you have ever considered having air conditioning installed in your home, now is the perfect time to go ahead with this, and have a unit which can be used all year round, providing heating in those cold winter months, and keeping you cool during the hot months in the summer.

If you are considering having air conditioning unit(s) installed in your residential property, we offer a supply and install service, throughout the UK, where we can supply you with one of our split system air conditioning units, which we can have installed for you, by one of our fully qualified F-Gas engineers, with zero VAT.

PAVA Systems, also know as Public Address Voice Alarms are often installed in large commercial buildings, such as shopping centres, restaurants, car parks, football stadiums, and casinos; where the importance of being able to provide a public announcement voice alarm, in order to be able to reduce the evacuation time, in the event of a fire, and to help guide people out of the building safely, by providing them with a clear voice message, is vital.

PAVA systems are a requirement in buildings, where the number of people exceeds 500.

These PAVA Systems, which offer emergency voice communication, are a great way to increase people’s awareness, and reaction times, in the event of a fire, as people tend to react more, when provided with a voice message, then they would do, if they were to only hear a bell or a siren.
