Floor console air conditioning in Torquay
If your home in Torquay is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
Where a house in Torquay has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. We cover Torquay as part of Devon, roughly 28 miles from Plymouth. Postcode districts we cover here include TQ2.

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.
The survey
On a survey in Torquay the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. Surveys in Torquay cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
