Floor console air conditioning in Margate
If your home in Margate is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
Where a house in Margate has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Margate is about 38 miles from Maidstone and falls within our Kent coverage. Homes in CT9 are all within our coverage.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Margate, 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
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. A survey in Margate 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.
