Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Dudley
Inland West Midlands towns can see sharp summer peaks, and the same system doubles as an efficient heater in winter. In Dudley, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.
For a kitchen-diner in Dudley, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Dudley sits around 8 miles from Birmingham, inside our West Midlands area. Homes in DY1 are all within our coverage.

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. Typical Large single work (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) lands around £1,995–£2,795 in this area.

One 3.5–5 kW unit for a medium extension.

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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
