Conservatory air conditioning in Newburn
Cold, windy North East winters favour a well-sized heat pump with an outdoor unit sheltered from the prevailing wind. Conservatories and orangeries in Newburn can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January.

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

On a survey in Newburn the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
