Multi-split air conditioning in Ashton-under-Lyne
Multi-split is a good fit for Ashton-under-Lyne flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available. Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year.
Twin and triple systems suit Ashton-under-Lyne homes where bedrooms sit above the kitchen and one rear wall can take the outdoor unit. Ashton-under-Lyne sits around 6 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. Postcode districts we cover here include OL7.

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.
