Wall-mounted air conditioning in Seaham
Where a home in Seaham faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. North East summers are cooler, so heat pump heating is often the main draw, with cooling for warm spells.
In a semi or terrace in Seaham, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. Seaham is about 10 miles from Durham and falls within our County Durham coverage. Homes in SR7 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
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.
The survey
A survey in Seaham 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 Seaham 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.
