Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Newton Abbot
For a kitchen-diner in Newton Abbot, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
In Newton Abbot, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. We cover Newton Abbot as part of Devon, roughly 26 miles from Plymouth. Homes in TQ12 are all within our coverage.

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
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.
The survey
A survey in Newton Abbot 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. Surveys in Newton Abbot cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
