Floor console air conditioning in Ashford, Kent
Where a house in Ashford has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
If your home in Ashford is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Ashford, Kent sits around 18 miles from Maidstone, inside our Kent area. Postcode districts we cover here include TN24.
