Wall-mounted air conditioning in Saltash
Where a home in Saltash faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
In a semi or terrace in Saltash, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. Saltash lies roughly 38 miles from Truro, and we cover it as part of Cornwall. Homes in PL12 are all within our coverage.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Saltash, 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.
The survey
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. On a survey in Saltash 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.
