Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Harlow
Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for. For a kitchen-diner in Harlow, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
In Harlow, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Our Essex coverage takes in Harlow, about 31 miles from Southend-on-Sea. Coverage includes CM17 and CM18.

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
For most houses in Harlow, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
We book surveys in Harlow at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Harlow 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.
