Floor console air conditioning across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
If your home in Paisley is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Where a room in Paisley has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
