Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Norwich
In Norwich, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. The East of England is one of the sunniest and driest parts of the UK, which makes glazed rooms and lofts hard to keep cool.
For Norwich houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Norwich is one of the main towns we cover in Norfolk, alongside Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn. Postcode districts we cover here include NR2 and NR3.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%.

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.
