Floor console air conditioning in Lichfield
Where a house in Lichfield has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. In the West Midlands, sizing for winter heating first and then checking summer cooling usually gives the best all-year system.
If your home in Lichfield is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Our Staffordshire coverage takes in Lichfield, about 27 miles from Stoke-on-Trent. Coverage includes WS13.

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.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. A survey in Lichfield 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.
