Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in St Austell
In St Austell, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much.
For St Austell houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. St Austell sits around 13 miles from Truro, inside our Cornwall area. Coverage includes PL25.
