Floor console air conditioning in Lower Earley
If your home in Lower Earley is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
Where a house in Lower Earley has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Lower Earley is about 3 miles from Reading and falls within our Berkshire coverage. We cover RG6 and RG2 and the streets around them.
Prices in Lower Earley

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.
