Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Potters Bar
An extension in Potters Bar 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 Potters Bar, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Potters Bar sits around 10 miles from Watford, inside our Hertfordshire area. We cover EN6 and the streets around them.

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.
