Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Bolton
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. In Bolton, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box.
Design-led units suit Bolton homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view. Bolton is about 11 miles from Manchester and falls within our Greater Manchester coverage. That includes the BL1, BL11 and BL78 postcode districts.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Bolton, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
