Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Holywood

Damp Northern Ireland winters make a heat pump's dehumidifying mode useful well beyond the summer. In Holywood, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.

An extension in Holywood with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Our County Down coverage takes in Holywood, about 6 miles from Bangor, County Down. Coverage includes BT18.

Prices in Holywood

Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Holywood typically comes in at £1,345–£4,095 per space including VAT, based on Northern Ireland rates. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Northern Ireland tend to be. What moves a quote in Holywood up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. As an example, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) would typically be £1,895–£2,595 here.

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

Planning rules for outdoor units in Northern Ireland differ from Great Britain's, so we check your property with you and the council where needed.

The survey

We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.

FAQ

Common questions in Holywood

Do you cover all of Holywood?

Yes, including BT18. We also cover nearby Newtownabbey and Belfast.

Will the outdoor unit need planning permission in Holywood?

Northern Ireland has its own planning rules for outdoor units. We confirm the position for your home on survey, and with the council where needed.

How soon can you survey in Holywood?

We offer survey dates when you enquire. Early summer is the busiest time, so spring and autumn are the easiest times to book.

Is the survey in Holywood really free?

Yes, for new installations. The survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead.

Who carries out the work in Holywood?

F-gas certified engineers working for Aircon Installers. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which trades as Aircon Installers, and your quote names who will do the work and the F-gas company certificate that covers it.

Should I wait until the extension is finished?

It is better to plan it during the build so pipework is hidden, but it can be fitted afterwards.
