Floor console air conditioning in Luton
The East of England is one of the sunniest and driest parts of the UK, which makes glazed rooms and lofts hard to keep cool. If your home in Luton is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit.
Where a house in Luton has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. As well as Luton itself, our Bedfordshire coverage takes in Bedford, Dunstable and the towns around them. That includes the LU1 postcode district.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Luton, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. On a survey in Luton the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
