Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Birmingham
For a kitchen-diner in Birmingham, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer.
An extension in Birmingham with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. As well as Birmingham itself, our West Midlands coverage takes in Coventry, Wolverhampton and the towns around them. We cover B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and 3 more and the streets around them.

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 Birmingham, 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 Birmingham 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. Surveys in Birmingham cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
