Floor console air conditioning in Barnet
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 Barnet has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was.
If your home in Barnet is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Our London coverage takes in Barnet, about 11 miles from central London. Postcode districts we cover here include EN5.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
