Wall-mounted air conditioning in Ashton-under-Lyne
Where a home in Ashton-under-Lyne faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Ashton-under-Lyne needs. Ashton-under-Lyne sits around 6 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. That includes the OL7 postcode district.

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
On a survey in Ashton-under-Lyne 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. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
