Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Workington
In Workington, 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 Workington, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. We cover Workington as part of Cumbria, roughly 30 miles from Carlisle. Postcode districts we cover here include CA14.

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
A survey in Workington usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. We book surveys in Workington at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
