Floor console air conditioning in Clifton
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. Where a room in Clifton has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear.
Where a house in Clifton has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. We cover Clifton as part of Bristol. Coverage includes BS8.

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
For most houses in Clifton, 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 free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
