Wall-mounted air conditioning in Chorley
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. In a semi or terrace in Chorley, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below.
Where a home in Chorley faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Chorley sits around 9 miles from Preston, inside our Lancashire area. We cover PR7 and the streets around them.

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
For most houses in Chorley, 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. A survey in Chorley 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.
