Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Bootle
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. Design-led units suit Bootle homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view.
In Bootle, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Our Merseyside coverage takes in Bootle, about 4 miles from Liverpool. Coverage includes L20.
