Floor console air conditioning in Greenwich
Where a house in Greenwich has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights.
If your home in Greenwich is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Greenwich lies roughly 5 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. That includes the SE10 postcode district.
Prices in Greenwich
Floor console air conditioning in Greenwich typically comes in at £1,795–£3,895 per room including VAT, based on London rates. London is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. What moves a quote in Greenwich up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. For reference, the Popular option in Greenwich (quieter console with Wi-Fi control for a living room) usually comes to about £2,295–£3,095.

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 free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. We book surveys in Greenwich at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
