HMOs & Lettings
Cooler rooms, easier lettings
Top-floor rooms in a converted townhouse can be unbearable in summer. We fit room-by-room cooling that keeps tenants comfortable, stays compliant, and adds a genuine letting point.

What this sector needs
Designed around how the building is actually used
Rooms that overheat
Top floors and converted lofts hold heat long into the night. A room-sized unit fixes the room tenants complain about, without cooling the whole house.
Billing and fairness
Room-by-room units with individual metering or simple controls avoid arguments about who is running the cooling and who pays for it.
Licensing and safety
Units and pipework must not obstruct escape routes, windows or fire doors. We plan routes with your licensing conditions and fire risk assessment in mind.
Systems we specify
The right hardware for the room, not a one-system answer
Room wall units
One unit per bedroom, each controlled by the tenant — the simplest way to cool a multi-let property.
Multi-split systems
Up to five rooms on a single outdoor unit, keeping external clutter and cost down on smaller properties.
Communal area cooling
Kitchen and lounge cooling for larger shared houses where heat and cooking smells collect.
Example installations
How a project here comes together
Typical commercial projects of this size and shape from our work across Devon and the South West.
Five-bed HMO, top floor
Five room units on two multi-split outdoor units, with condensate routed internally to waste and pipework boxed in.
Every bedroom controllable by its tenant, with no visible trunking in the common parts.
Portfolio of converted flats
Individual systems per flat, installed between tenancies with certificates and manuals left in each property.
Turnarounds kept to days, and each flat has its own documented, compliant install.
Ongoing maintenance
Looked after for the life of the system
Landlords need evidence as much as comfort. Our visits produce a record per unit that stands up in a licensing review or a deposit dispute.
Common questions
FAQs
Will cooling breach our licensing conditions?
Not when it's planned properly. We keep units clear of escape routes, windows and fire doors, and provide documentation you can put in front of your licensing officer.
Who pays for the electricity?
That's your call. Room-by-room units can be individually metered or on a landlord supply; we'll advise what suits your tenancy agreements.
Can you install between tenancies?
Yes. We work around void periods and can complete a typical room in a day, so turnarounds stay short.
