Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Salford
In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus. For Salford houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished.
Design-led units suit Salford homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view. Our Greater Manchester coverage takes in Salford, about 2 miles from Manchester. Homes in M5, M6 and M50 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. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
For most houses in Salford, 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.
The survey
A survey in Salford 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.
