Floor console air conditioning in Wareham
Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks. Where a house in Wareham has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was.
Where a room in Wareham has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. Wareham lies roughly 10 miles from Bournemouth, and we cover it as part of Dorset. We cover BH20 and the streets around them.

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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
A survey in Wareham 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. 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.
