Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Pitsea
An extension in Pitsea with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat.
For a kitchen-diner in Pitsea, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Pitsea is about 9 miles from Southend-on-Sea and falls within our Essex coverage. Coverage includes SS13.
Prices in Pitsea
Guide prices around Pitsea run from £1,595 to £4,995 per space including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in the East of 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. On our East of England figures, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) is about £2,295–£3,195.
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
For most houses in Pitsea, 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
On a survey in Pitsea 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 Pitsea 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.
