Floor console air conditioning in Solihull
Hot spells in the West Midlands are shorter but intense, especially in loft rooms and rooms with big windows. Where a house in Solihull has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was.
If your home in Solihull is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Our West Midlands coverage takes in Solihull, about 7 miles from Birmingham. We cover B90 and B92 and the streets around them.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
