Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Oadby
An extension in Oadby with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. In the East Midlands, one system that cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter makes good use of the investment.
In Oadby, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. We cover Oadby as part of Leicestershire, roughly 3 miles from Leicester. Homes in LE2 are all within our coverage.

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
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.
The survey
A survey in Oadby 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. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
