Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Leicester
For a kitchen-diner in Leicester, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. East Midlands summers bring dry, sunny spells, so glazing and orientation matter most when sizing a unit.
In Leicester, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. As well as Leicester itself, our Leicestershire coverage takes in Loughborough, Hinckley and the towns around them. Coverage includes LE1 and LE19.
Prices in Leicester
Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Leicester typically comes in at £1,395–£4,245 per space including VAT, based on East Midlands rates. Labour rates in the East Midlands keep this slightly under the national middle. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. On our East Midlands figures, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) is about £1,945–£2,745.
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 Leicester, 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
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. A survey in Leicester usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
