Floor console air conditioning in Notting Hill
Where a room in Notting Hill has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. 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.
If your home in Notting Hill is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Notting Hill is about 4 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include W11.
