Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Bude
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. An extension in Bude with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon.
For a kitchen-diner in Bude, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Bude lies roughly 45 miles from Truro, and we cover it as part of Cornwall. Homes in EX23 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Bude
Our South West England guide price for air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners is £1,450–£4,450 per space, VAT included. It sits near the middle of UK prices. 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. On our South West England figures, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) is about £2,050–£2,850.
Single unit
One 3.5–5 kW unit for a medium extension.
Large single
One 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space.
Twin units
Two indoor units on a multi-split for long or L-shaped spaces.
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
For most houses in Bude, 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
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. On a survey in Bude the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
