Floor console air conditioning in Crowthorne
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. Where a room in Crowthorne has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear.
If your home in Crowthorne is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Crowthorne sits around 10 miles from Reading, inside our Berkshire area. We cover RG45 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.

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.
