Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Barrow-in-Furness
In Barrow-in-Furness, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
For a kitchen-diner in Barrow-in-Furness, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Barrow-in-Furness is about 55 miles from Carlisle and falls within our Cumbria coverage. That includes the LA14 postcode district.

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.
