Wall-mounted air conditioning in Old Trafford
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Old Trafford needs. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
In a semi or terrace in Old Trafford, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. Our Greater Manchester coverage takes in Old Trafford, about 3 miles from Manchester. That includes the M16 and M17 postcode districts.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
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. 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.
