Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Chingford

In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep. In Chingford, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.

For a kitchen-diner in Chingford, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. We cover Chingford as part of London, roughly 11 miles from central London. We cover E4 and the streets around them.

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.

F-gas certified engineers working for Aircon Installers. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which trades as Aircon Installers, and your quote names who will do the work and the F-gas company certificate that covers it.

Can I get a price for Chingford without a visit?

Yes, our online guide price tool gives a range in about a minute. A fixed price needs a survey, which is free for new installations.
