Floor console air conditioning across Leicestershire
Where a room in Leicester has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. If your home in Leicester is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. In the East Midlands, one system that cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter makes good use of the investment.
Prices in Leicestershire
Guide prices around Leicestershire run from £1,295 to £2,845 per room including VAT. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical East Midlands labour rates. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range.

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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
A survey in Leicestershire 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. 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.
