Wall-mounted air conditioning in Kettering
In a semi or terrace in Kettering, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. In the East Midlands, one system that cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter makes good use of the investment.
Where a home in Kettering faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. We cover Kettering as part of Northamptonshire, roughly 12 miles from Northampton. That includes the NN16 postcode district.

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.
