Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Widnes
In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus. For a kitchen-diner in Widnes, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
In Widnes, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. We cover Widnes as part of Cheshire, roughly 7 miles from Warrington. We cover WA8 and the streets around them.

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