Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Chalk Farm
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. For Chalk Farm landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with.
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Chalk Farm can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. Chalk Farm lies roughly 3 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. That includes the NW3 postcode district.

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
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.
