Floor console air conditioning in Chalk Farm
The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights. Where a room in Chalk Farm has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear.
If your home in Chalk Farm is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Our London coverage takes in Chalk Farm, about 3 miles from central London. Coverage includes NW3.

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.
