Floor console air conditioning in Newcastle upon Tyne
Cold, windy North East winters favour a well-sized heat pump with an outdoor unit sheltered from the prevailing wind. Where a room in Newcastle upon Tyne has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear.
If your home in Newcastle upon Tyne is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Newcastle upon Tyne is one of the main towns we cover in Tyne and Wear, alongside Sunderland and South Shields. Coverage includes NE1.
Prices in Newcastle upon Tyne
Floor console air conditioning in Newcastle upon Tyne typically comes in at £1,245–£2,695 per room including VAT, based on North East England rates.

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.
