Floor console air conditioning in Maidenhead
Where a house in Maidenhead has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
If your home in Maidenhead is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. We cover Maidenhead as part of Berkshire, roughly 12 miles from Reading. Postcode districts we cover here include SL6.

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.
The survey
A survey in Maidenhead usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. We book surveys in Maidenhead at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
