Wall-mounted air conditioning in Fishponds
Where a home in Fishponds faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much.
In a semi or terrace in Fishponds, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. We cover Fishponds as part of Bristol. Homes in BS16 are all within our coverage.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Fishponds, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
