Floor console air conditioning in Totton
If your home in Totton is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation.
Where a room in Totton has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. We cover Totton as part of Hampshire, roughly 4 miles from Southampton. Postcode districts we cover here include SO40.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. A survey in Totton 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.
