Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Minehead
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. In Minehead, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.
For a kitchen-diner in Minehead, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. We cover Minehead as part of Somerset, roughly 21 miles from Taunton. That includes the TA24 postcode district.
Prices in Minehead
For Minehead, expect roughly £1,450 to £4,450 per space, VAT included, adjusted for typical South West England rates. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. What moves a quote in Minehead up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. As an example, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) would typically be £2,050–£2,850 here.

One 3.5–5 kW unit for a medium extension.

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.
