Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners across Somerset
For a kitchen-diner in Taunton, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. In Taunton, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.

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
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 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. We book surveys in Somerset at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
