Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Ipswich
In Ipswich, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat.
For a kitchen-diner in Ipswich, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Ipswich is one of the main towns we cover in Suffolk, alongside Lowestoft and Bury St Edmunds. Postcode districts we cover here include IP1, IP3 and IP4.

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.
