Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Lichfield
Inland West Midlands towns can see sharp summer peaks, and the same system doubles as an efficient heater in winter. For a kitchen-diner in Lichfield, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
In Lichfield, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Lichfield lies roughly 27 miles from Stoke-on-Trent, and we cover it as part of Staffordshire. Postcode districts we cover here include WS13.

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 Lichfield, 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
A survey in Lichfield 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. 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.
