Rooms and systems
Where a home in Longton faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. For a holiday home or annexe near Longton, Wi-Fi control lets you warm it up before anyone arrives. Replacements in Longton can often reuse an existing bracket and wall opening where they are sound. We service most makes found in Longton homes, including systems we did not install.
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. Many homes start with one or two rooms. A system can be designed so that more rooms are added later without replacing the outdoor unit.

Listed buildings need consent. Leaseholders in Longton usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units.
If your home in Longton is replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, and no gas, oil or LPG boiler stays in use, an MCS-certified air-to-air heat pump may qualify for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which the MCS-certified installer claims and deducts from the price.
