Floor console air conditioning in Dover
Where a house in Dover has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation.
If your home in Dover is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Dover is about 36 miles from Maidstone and falls within our Kent coverage. Coverage includes CT16.

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 Dover, 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 Dover 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. Surveys in Dover cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
