Conservatory air conditioning in Hornchurch
In Hornchurch, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep.
If your conservatory in Hornchurch faces south, that is where overheating is worst. Hornchurch is about 15 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. Homes in RM11 and RM12 are all within our coverage.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
