Floor console air conditioning in Stockport
Where a room in Stockport has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
If your home in Stockport is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. We cover Stockport as part of Greater Manchester, roughly 6 miles from Manchester. Homes in SK1 and SK3 are all within our coverage.

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.
The survey
We book surveys in Stockport at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Stockport the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
