Floor console air conditioning across South Yorkshire
If your home in Sheffield is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Where a house in Sheffield has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Cold Yorkshire winters mean sizing for heating first, then checking the summer cooling load.

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
On a survey in South Yorkshire the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. A survey in South Yorkshire 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.
