Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Smethwick
For a kitchen-diner in Smethwick, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. In the West Midlands, sizing for winter heating first and then checking summer cooling usually gives the best all-year system.
In Smethwick, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Smethwick lies roughly 3 miles from Birmingham, and we cover it as part of the West Midlands. We cover B66 and the streets around them.

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.
