Floor console air conditioning in Tunbridge Wells
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. If your home in Tunbridge Wells is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit.
Where a room in Tunbridge Wells has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. Tunbridge Wells is about 14 miles from Maidstone and falls within our Kent coverage. Homes in TN1 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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
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.
