Conservatory air conditioning in Heywood
In Heywood, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus.
If your conservatory in Heywood faces south, that is where overheating is worst. We cover Heywood as part of Greater Manchester, roughly 8 miles from Manchester. That includes the OL10 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.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
A survey in Heywood 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. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
