Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Taunton
South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much. For a kitchen-diner in Taunton, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
An extension in Taunton with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. We cover Taunton and the rest of Somerset, including Bath and Weston-super-Mare. Homes in TA1 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Taunton
In South West England, our guide range for air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners is £1,450–£4,450 per space, including VAT. It sits near the middle of UK prices. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. On our South West England figures, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) is about £2,050–£2,850.
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
Two indoor units on a multi-split for long or L-shaped spaces.
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 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. A survey in Taunton usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
