Floor console air conditioning in Acton
In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep. Where a house in Acton has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was.
If your home in Acton is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Acton lies roughly 7 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. Coverage includes W3.

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.
