Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in East Cowes
Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. In East Cowes, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.
For a kitchen-diner in East Cowes, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. East Cowes sits around 4 miles from Newport, Isle of Wight, inside our Isle of Wight area. Homes in PO32 are all within our coverage.

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.
