Wall-mounted air conditioning in Salford
In a semi or terrace in Salford, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus.
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Salford needs. Salford sits around 2 miles from Manchester, inside our Greater Manchester area. That includes the M5, M6 and M50 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
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
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. A survey in Salford usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
