Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Halesworth
Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat. For a kitchen-diner in Halesworth, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
An extension in Halesworth with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Our Suffolk coverage takes in Halesworth, about 25 miles from Ipswich. Coverage includes IP19.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
