Wall-mounted air conditioning in St Austell
In a semi or terrace in St Austell, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
Where a home in St Austell faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. We cover St Austell as part of Cornwall, roughly 13 miles from Truro. That includes the PL25 postcode district.
