Booking surveys for next week across Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire
Macclesfield and Cheshire East
The old silk town, with Georgian and early Victorian property in the centre, substantial houses at Prestbury, and the ground rising sharply towards the Peak District on the eastern side. Listed buildings are common enough here to change the survey.
CoolIn installs, services and repairs air conditioning throughout Macclesfield and the wider Cheshire East area, covering SK10 and SK11, including Bollington, Prestbury and Poynton. We are about 45 minutes away, which is close enough to attend a breakdown in the same week rather than the same month.
Local knowledge
Macclesfield has an unusual concentration of listed and locally significant buildings for a town its size, and the eastern side sits high enough to feel a genuinely different winter.
No permitted development rights, so consent is needed before anything is fixed to the structure. We prepare the application with positions, noise data and photographs, and speak to the conservation officer before quoting rather than after.
Whole house systems where the priority is keeping the number of visible outdoor units to a minimum and the pipework entirely out of sight.
Bollington and the lanes climbing towards the moors sit noticeably higher and colder than the town centre. Heating performance needs explaining honestly at those addresses.
Converted upper floors with awkward access and shared structures, where slim ducted units above a false ceiling usually beat a wall unit both visually and for the landlord.
What we do in Macclesfield
Wall units, multi splits and ducted systems for houses and flats, from £1,850 fitted with no VAT to add.
Offices, shops, kitchens, gyms and server rooms, designed around your heat load and fitted around your trading hours.
Plans from £89 per unit a year, keeping the manufacturer warranty valid and the running costs down.
All makes and models, £95 for the first hour, with the common parts carried on the van.
Air to air heat pumps giving around 4.5kWh of heat per kWh of electricity, heating and cooling from one unit.
Heat recovery, kitchen extract and make up air, and filtration where cooling alone will not fix the problem.
Nearby
Each town has its own page, because the housing stock and the planning rules genuinely differ. The full coverage area lists everywhere else we work.
Local questions
Often, but it needs listed building consent because permitted development rights do not apply at all. What tends to get approved is a condenser in a rear courtyard or another position not visible from a public highway, with indoor units chosen to avoid drilling through historic fabric where there is any alternative. We put the application together and have the conversation with the conservation officer before you commit to anything.
Yes, for most of the year. Between roughly 7°C and 15°C outside, which covers a large part of a Cheshire autumn and spring, an air to air heat pump heats a room far more cheaply than firing a boiler to warm the whole house. On the genuinely cold weeks it gives less, and above 200 metres you get more of those weeks. We are clear about where the line falls for your specific address.
