Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Ashford, Kent
In Ashford, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
For a kitchen-diner in Ashford, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Ashford, Kent lies roughly 18 miles from Maidstone, and we cover it as part of Kent. Postcode districts we cover here include TN24.
