Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Market Harborough
An extension in Market Harborough with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. East Midlands summers bring dry, sunny spells, so glazing and orientation matter most when sizing a unit.
For a kitchen-diner in Market Harborough, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Our Leicestershire coverage takes in Market Harborough, about 14 miles from Leicester. That includes the LE16 postcode district.

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
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.
