Floor console air conditioning in Streatham
The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights. If your home in Streatham is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit.
Where a room in Streatham has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. We cover Streatham as part of London, roughly 5 miles from central London. Homes in SW16 are all within our coverage.

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.
