Floor console air conditioning in Gosforth
Cold, windy North East winters favour a well-sized heat pump with an outdoor unit sheltered from the prevailing wind. Where a room in Gosforth has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear.
Where a house in Gosforth has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. We cover Gosforth as part of Tyne and Wear, roughly 2 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. Homes in NE3 are all within our coverage.

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
