Floor console air conditioning in Richmond
Many London homes are flats or tall terraces, where heat rises to the top floor and the bedrooms bear the brunt of a hot spell. Where a house in Richmond has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was.
Where a room in Richmond has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. Our London coverage takes in Richmond, about 8 miles from central London. Postcode districts we cover here include TW9.
Prices in Richmond
Our London guide price for floor console air conditioning is £1,795–£3,895 per room, VAT included. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting London labour rates and parking and access costs. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles.

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
For most houses in Richmond, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
On a survey in Richmond the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. Surveys in Richmond cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
