Floor console air conditioning in Launceston
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. Where a house in Launceston has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was.
Where a room in Launceston has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. Launceston is about 40 miles from Truro and falls within our Cornwall coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include PL15.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Launceston, 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 survey
Surveys in Launceston cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. A survey in Launceston 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.
