Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Bedford
Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for. For bedrooms in Bedford, we place the outdoor unit at the back of the house, away from neighbours' windows.
Loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms in Bedford gain heat through the roof all day and give it back at night. Bedford is about 18 miles from Luton and falls within our Bedfordshire coverage. Coverage includes MK40.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. Surveys in Bedford cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
