Floor console air conditioning in Ashton in Makerfield
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. Where a house in Ashton in Makerfield has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was.
If your home in Ashton in Makerfield is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Ashton in Makerfield sits around 17 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. Coverage includes WN4 and WA12.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
