Floor console air conditioning in Washington
Where a house in Washington has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. In the North East, sizing for winter heating and then checking summer cooling usually gives the right system.
If your home in Washington is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Washington is about 6 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne and falls within our Tyne and Wear coverage. That includes the NE37 and NE38 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
Surveys in Washington cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. On a survey in Washington 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.
