Floor console air conditioning in Wellingborough
If your home in Wellingborough is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. In the East Midlands, one system that cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter makes good use of the investment.
Where a room in Wellingborough has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. Wellingborough sits around 9 miles from Northampton, inside our Northamptonshire area. We cover NN8 and the streets around them.

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.
