Proper air conditioning for Manchester homes - not a portable unit on wheels

Every system we fit is a "split" system: a slim indoor unit high on the wall and a compact outdoor unit outside, joined by a small pipe run. It cools a room in minutes, runs quietly, filters the air and - because it is a heat pump - it heats the room efficiently in winter as well. It is the same kit you find in hotels and new-build apartments, sized properly for your room.

Single room air conditioning

The most popular job we do. One indoor unit, one outdoor unit, one day. Perfect for a living room, a lounge-diner, a large kitchen or the one bedroom that turns into an oven every July. Prices start at £1,800 fully fitted and most single rooms come in between £1,800 and £2,500 depending on room size and how far the outdoor unit is from the indoor one.

Ryan sizes the unit to the room. Too small and it runs flat out all day. Too big and it short-cycles and never dehumidifies properly. Getting this right is most of the job - it is why we always take a look before we quote.

Multi-room systems

Want the lounge and two bedrooms done? A "multi-split" runs two, three or four indoor units from a single outdoor unit. That means one tidy box outside instead of three, and each room gets its own remote and its own temperature. Typical guide prices are £3,400 to £4,600 for two rooms and £4,900 to £6,600 for three - see the prices page for the full breakdown.

Bedrooms and loft conversions

Loft rooms and top-floor bedrooms are the number one reason people ring us. Heat rises, Velux windows act like a greenhouse, and a fan just moves warm air about. A wall unit on the lowest fan setting is quieter than most people's fridge, so you actually sleep. Ryan will position the indoor unit so it is not blowing straight onto the bed, and site the outdoor unit away from your window and next door's.

Home offices, garden rooms and extensions

Garden offices and box-room studies are the second most common job. In summer they overheat; in winter they are expensive to keep warm with a plug-in heater. One air conditioning unit fixes both. In heating mode it puts out roughly three to four times more heat than the electricity it uses, so it is one of the cheapest ways to keep a single room comfortable all year round.

Shops, salons, cafes and small offices

Comfortable customers stay longer, and staff work better. We fit wall-mounted and ceiling-cassette systems for small commercial spaces across Manchester and Bolton, and plan the install around your opening hours - early mornings, Sundays or after close if that suits. Ask about servicing plans to keep everything running through the busy months.

Heating with your air conditioning

People buy air conditioning for the summer and then find they use the heating mode more. Set the unit to 20°C on a cold morning and the room is warm before the kettle has boiled - without waiting for the whole central heating system to get going. It works down to well below freezing outside, and for a single room it will usually cost less to run than the radiator it replaces.

Brands we fit

We fit reliable, well-supported units from leading manufacturers - the brands where spares are easy to get and the warranty is worth having. Ryan will recommend the right unit for your room and budget rather than pushing one brand for every job.
