Wall-mounted air conditioning in Prescot
Where a home in Prescot faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks.
In a semi or terrace in Prescot, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. We cover Prescot as part of Merseyside, roughly 7 miles from Liverpool. Postcode districts we cover here include L34.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
