Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Newburn
Design-led units suit Newburn homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view. North East summers are cooler, so heat pump heating is often the main draw, with cooling for warm spells.
In Newburn, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. We cover Newburn as part of Tyne and Wear, roughly 5 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. Coverage includes NE15.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Newburn, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey

We book surveys in Newburn at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
