Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Altrincham
In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus. An extension in Altrincham with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon.
For a kitchen-diner in Altrincham, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. We cover Altrincham as part of Greater Manchester, roughly 8 miles from Manchester. Coverage includes WA14.

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
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
We book surveys in Altrincham at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Altrincham 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.
