Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Luton
An extension in Luton with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Long sunny spells in the East of England put conservatories and top-floor rooms under real pressure.
For a kitchen-diner in Luton, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. As well as Luton itself, our Bedfordshire coverage takes in Bedford, Dunstable and the towns around them. Coverage includes LU1.
Prices in Luton
Guide prices around Luton run from £1,595 to £4,995 per space including VAT. The East of England is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. Typical Large single work (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) lands around £2,295–£3,195 in this area.
Single unit
One 3.5–5 kW unit for a medium extension.
Large single
One 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space.

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
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. Surveys in Luton cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
