Floor console air conditioning in Wallingford
The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first. If your home in Wallingford is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit.
Where a room in Wallingford has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. We cover Wallingford as part of Oxfordshire, roughly 12 miles from Oxford. Coverage includes OX10.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Wallingford, 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
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. A survey in Wallingford 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.
