Wall-mounted air conditioning in Hayes
Where a home in Hayes faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep.
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Hayes needs. Hayes is about 13 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. Coverage includes UB3 and UB8.
