Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Bedford
Long sunny spells in the East of England put conservatories and top-floor rooms under real pressure. For a kitchen-diner in Bedford, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
In Bedford, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Bedford is about 18 miles from Luton and falls within our Bedfordshire coverage. Coverage includes MK40.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey

The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
