Floor console air conditioning across Shropshire
Where a room in Telford has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. If your home in Telford is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer.

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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
