Name: Cecotec (08162 / 08162)
Brand: Cecotec
Author: Igor Ivitskiy

Cecotec (08162 / 08162): no outdoor unit — the neighbour noise test and Class G (the England and Wales rule for a heat-pump outdoor unit) do not apply; indoor sound level 65 dB(A). £ per summer is not scored: this registration has no cooling capacity and no SEER (summer cooling efficiency; higher uses less electricity) to divide it by. Tariff on file is 26.32p/kWh.

Do I need planning permission for this family in England, Wales or Scotland?

Class G is not a yes from the model card alone. Product class is portable1. On a house in England the outdoor unit has to be under 1.5 m³, meet 37 dB at the neighbour's window and stay off a road-facing wall in a conservation area; a block of flats is one unit up to 0.6 m³ (Class G as amended 29 May 2025, checked 25 Sep 2026). The address, the volume and the wall are what the planning check still needs. In Northern Ireland the outdoor unit is Class G of SR 2015/70 as substituted by SR 2023/95: a dwellinghouse, used to provide heat, and MCS 020 Issue 1.3 (42 dB(A)), not the England 37 dB figure.

Cecotec brand

Better than a split-unit noise table: this monobloc has no outdoor compressor, so the neighbour-window test is not scored.
