Air conditioning replacement and removal in Bolton

Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. Replacements in Bolton can often reuse an existing bracket and wall opening where they are sound.

Units over fifteen years old in Bolton homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. We cover Bolton as part of Greater Manchester, roughly 11 miles from Manchester. We cover BL1, BL11 and BL78 and the streets around them.

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.

We book surveys in Bolton at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Bolton cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
