Floor console air conditioning in Chard
Where a room in Chard has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
Where a house in Chard has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Chard is about 11 miles from Taunton and falls within our Somerset coverage. That includes the TA20 postcode district.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
