Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Consett
In Consett, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. North East summers are cooler, so heat pump heating is often the main draw, with cooling for warm spells.
For a kitchen-diner in Consett, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Our County Durham coverage takes in Consett, about 11 miles from Durham. Postcode districts we cover here include DH8.

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

The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
