Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Heywood
In Heywood, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus.
An extension in Heywood with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Heywood sits around 8 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. That includes the OL10 postcode district.
Prices in Heywood

Labour rates in North West England keep this slightly under the national middle. What moves a quote in Heywood up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. As an example, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) would typically be £1,945–£2,695 here.

One 3.5–5 kW unit for a medium extension.

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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
On a survey in Heywood 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 Heywood 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.
