Floor console air conditioning in Tonbridge
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. Where a house in Tonbridge has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was.
If your home in Tonbridge is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Tonbridge lies roughly 12 miles from Maidstone, and we cover it as part of Kent. Homes in TN9 are all within our coverage.

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 Tonbridge, 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
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. On a survey in Tonbridge the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
