Conservatory air conditioning in Salford
Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year. Conservatories and orangeries in Salford can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January.
In Salford, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. Salford lies roughly 2 miles from Manchester, and we cover it as part of Greater Manchester. Coverage includes M5, M6 and M50.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.

We book surveys in Salford at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. 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.
