Floor console air conditioning in Southport
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. Where a room in Southport has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear.
Where a house in Southport has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Southport lies roughly 16 miles from Liverpool, and we cover it as part of Merseyside. Coverage includes PR8.

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
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.
