Conservatory air conditioning in Manchester
In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus. Conservatories and orangeries in Manchester can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January.
In Manchester, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. We cover Manchester and the rest of Greater Manchester, including Oldham and Wigan. Homes in M1, M2, M3, M4, M11 and 3 more are all within our coverage.

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
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.
The survey
Surveys in Manchester cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. A survey in Manchester 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.
