Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Hounslow
In Hounslow, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Many London homes are flats or tall terraces, where heat rises to the top floor and the bedrooms bear the brunt of a hot spell.
Design-led units suit Hounslow homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view. Our London coverage takes in Hounslow, about 10 miles from central London. We cover TW3, TW4 and TW6 and the streets around them.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
