Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Leighton Buzzard
Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for. In Leighton Buzzard, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.
For a kitchen-diner in Leighton Buzzard, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Leighton Buzzard is about 11 miles from Luton and falls within our Bedfordshire coverage. That includes the LU7 postcode district.

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
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 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.
