Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Southport
An extension in Southport with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks.
In Southport, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Our Merseyside coverage takes in Southport, about 16 miles from Liverpool. Coverage includes PR8.
