Wall-mounted air conditioning in Newton Aycliffe
Cold, windy North East winters favour a well-sized heat pump with an outdoor unit sheltered from the prevailing wind. Where a home in Newton Aycliffe faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight.
In a semi or terrace in Newton Aycliffe, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. Newton Aycliffe lies roughly 11 miles from Durham, and we cover it as part of County Durham. Homes in DL5 are all within our coverage.

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.
The survey
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. A survey in Newton Aycliffe 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.
