Floor console air conditioning in Cambridge
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 Cambridge is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit.
Where a house in Cambridge has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Cambridge lies roughly 30 miles from Peterborough, and we cover it as part of Cambridgeshire. Homes in CB5, CB21, CB22, CB23 and CB24 are all within our coverage.

Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting East of England labour rates and parking and access costs.

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 Cambridge 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 Cambridge at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
