Floor console air conditioning in Bishop Auckland
If your home in Bishop Auckland is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Cold, windy North East winters favour a well-sized heat pump with an outdoor unit sheltered from the prevailing wind.
Where a house in Bishop Auckland has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Bishop Auckland is about 9 miles from Durham and falls within our County Durham coverage. Homes in DL14 are all within our coverage.

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.
