Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Alnwick
Cold, windy North East winters favour a well-sized heat pump with an outdoor unit sheltered from the prevailing wind. An extension in Alnwick with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon.
For a kitchen-diner in Alnwick, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. We cover Alnwick as part of Northumberland, roughly 21 miles from Blyth. Homes in NE66 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Alnwick
Our North East England guide price for air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners is £1,345–£4,095 per space, VAT included. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical North East England labour rates. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. On our North East England figures, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) is about £1,895–£2,595.
Single unit
One 3.5–5 kW unit for a medium extension.
Large single
One 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space.
Twin units

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
For most houses in Alnwick, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
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.
