Floor console air conditioning in Royton
If your home in Royton 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 house in Royton has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. We cover Royton as part of Greater Manchester, roughly 7 miles from Manchester. That includes the OL2 postcode district.

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
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.
The survey
A survey in Royton 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. Surveys in Royton cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
