Floor console air conditioning in North Shields
North East summers are cooler, so heat pump heating is often the main draw, with cooling for warm spells. Where a house in North Shields has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was.
If your home in North Shields is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. North Shields is about 7 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne and falls within our Tyne and Wear coverage. That includes the NE29 and NE30 postcode districts.

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
A survey in North Shields 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. Surveys in North Shields cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
