Design-led units, slim floor consoles and concealed ducted systems are all options where a standard white wall unit would look out of place. For a single hot bedroom or living room, a wall-mounted split is usually the simplest answer. Two to four rooms often suit a multi-split on one outdoor unit, while a ducted system hides everything except the grilles.

On our North East England figures, a wall-mounted system is typically £1,045–£2,695 per room, a multi-split £2,245–£7,145 for 2–4 rooms, and a bedroom or loft unit £1,095–£2,695 per room, all including VAT. Installations are fixed in writing after a free survey; visits are priced before we come.
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. For flats in Alnwick, the lease and the freeholder's consent come first. Planning rules for blocks of flats are stricter than for houses, and we check them before quoting.
