Wall-mounted air conditioning in Wigston
East Midlands summers bring dry, sunny spells, so glazing and orientation matter most when sizing a unit. Where a home in Wigston faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight.
In a semi or terrace in Wigston, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. Our Leicestershire coverage takes in Wigston, about 4 miles from Leicester. We cover LE18 and the streets around them.

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