Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Hove
In Hove, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation.
An extension in Hove with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Hove is about 1 mile from Brighton and falls within our East Sussex coverage. Homes in BN3 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Hove
Guide prices around Hove run from £1,745 to £5,445 per space including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. As an example, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) would typically be £2,495–£3,495 here.
Single unit
One 3.5–5 kW unit for a medium extension.
Large single
One 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space.
Twin units
Two indoor units on a multi-split for long or L-shaped spaces.
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.
