Floor console air conditioning in Ashington
Where a house in Ashington has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Cold, windy North East winters favour a well-sized heat pump with an outdoor unit sheltered from the prevailing wind.
If your home in Ashington is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Ashington sits around 4 miles from Blyth, inside our Northumberland area. We cover NE63 and the streets around them.

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.
The survey
A survey in Ashington usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
