Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners across Tyne and Wear
For a kitchen-diner in Newcastle upon Tyne, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. An extension in Newcastle upon Tyne with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Cold, windy North East winters favour a well-sized heat pump with an outdoor unit sheltered from the prevailing wind.
Prices in Tyne and Wear
Guide prices around Tyne and Wear run from £1,345 to £4,095 per space including VAT. Labour rates in North East England keep this slightly under the national middle. 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. As an example, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) would typically be £1,895–£2,595 here.
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
For most houses in Tyne and Wear, 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 Tyne and Wear 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. On a survey in Tyne and Wear the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
