Floor console air conditioning in Guildford
Where a house in Guildford has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
If your home in Guildford is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. We cover Guildford as part of Surrey, roughly 6 miles from Woking. That includes the GU1 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
For most houses in Guildford, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
On a survey in Guildford 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 Guildford 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.
