Air conditioning replacement and removal in Birkenhead
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. During building work in Birkenhead, units can be recovered and removed so the job can go ahead safely.
Units over fifteen years old in Birkenhead homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. Birkenhead sits around 2 miles from Liverpool, inside our Merseyside area. That includes the CH41 and CH42 postcode districts.

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 Birkenhead 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. On a survey in Birkenhead 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.
