Floor console air conditioning in Ferndown
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. Where a house in Ferndown has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was.
If your home in Ferndown is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Our Dorset coverage takes in Ferndown, about 6 miles from Bournemouth. Homes in BH22 are all within our coverage.

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 Ferndown, 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
A survey in Ferndown 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 Ferndown at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
