Wall-mounted air conditioning in Rawtenstall
Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year. Where a home in Rawtenstall faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight.
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Rawtenstall needs. Rawtenstall is about 18 miles from Preston and falls within our Lancashire coverage. Coverage includes BB4.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Rawtenstall, 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
On a survey in Rawtenstall 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. Surveys in Rawtenstall cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
