In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus. Design-led units suit Walkden homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view.
For Walkden houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Walkden lies roughly 7 miles from Manchester, and we cover it as part of Greater Manchester. That includes the M28 postcode district.

It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in North West England tend to be. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles.

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.
