Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Islington
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 Islington, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.
For a kitchen-diner in Islington, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Islington lies roughly 3 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. We cover EC1P, EC4P, N1, N1C, N1P and N7 and the streets around 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.
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. 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.
