Three-room multi-split in a Wilmslow Victorian terrace

Hannah and Marcus bought a four-bedroom Victorian terrace on Chapel Lane in late 2024. South-facing, brick-built, beautiful — and unbearable in summer. They wanted cooling in the master bedroom, the home office, and the open-plan kitchen-diner at the back.

We specified a Mitsubishi multi-split: one MXZ-3F54VFHZ outdoor unit running three MSZ-LN indoor heads (2.5kW + 2.5kW + 5.0kW). The kitchen-diner needed the larger 5kW unit because of the western glazing; the bedroom and office were sized down to the smaller heads.

The hard part was the pipework. Victorian terraces don't have ceiling voids, the plaster is lath-and-horsehair, and the outdoor unit had to go in the side return without obstructing the bin store. Liam ran two of the branches inside trunking painted to match the wall, and the third through a redundant flue void we agreed to repurpose. Total pipework run was 22m across three indoor units.

Three-day install. Commissioning paperwork to Hannah by the Friday evening; first service booked into the diary for the same week in 2027.
