Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Rochdale
In Rochdale, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks.
An extension in Rochdale with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Rochdale is about 10 miles from Manchester and falls within our Greater Manchester coverage. Homes in OL16 are all within our coverage.

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.
