Floor console air conditioning in Cheadle Hulme
If your home in Cheadle Hulme is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
Where a room in Cheadle Hulme has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. Cheadle Hulme lies roughly 8 miles from Manchester, and we cover it as part of Greater Manchester. Postcode districts we cover here include SK8.

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.
