Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Salford
In Salford, 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 Salford with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Salford sits around 2 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. Homes in M5, M6 and M50 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Salford
In North West England, our guide range for air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners is £1,395–£4,245 per space, including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in North West England tend to be. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. 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.
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 Salford, 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
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
