Floor console air conditioning in Bournemouth
South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much. Where a room in Bournemouth has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear.
Where a house in Bournemouth has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. As well as Bournemouth itself, our Dorset coverage takes in Poole, Weymouth and the towns around them. That includes the BH1, BH2, BH7 and BH10 postcode districts.

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
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.

We book surveys in Bournemouth at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
