Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Lancaster
North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks. For a kitchen-diner in Lancaster, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
In Lancaster, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. We cover Lancaster as part of Lancashire, roughly 20 miles from Preston. Coverage includes LA1.

The survey
