Floor console air conditioning in Lowestoft
If your home in Lowestoft is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat.
Where a house in Lowestoft has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Lowestoft sits around 38 miles from Ipswich, inside our Suffolk area. We cover NR32 and the streets around them.

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.
