Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Ferndown
An extension in Ferndown with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
In Ferndown, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Ferndown is about 6 miles from Bournemouth and falls within our Dorset coverage. We cover BH22 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.

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
On a survey in Ferndown 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. A survey in Ferndown 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.
