Wall-mounted air conditioning in Holloway
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. Where a home in Holloway faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight.
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Holloway needs. Holloway sits around 4 miles from central London, inside our London area. We cover N7 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
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.
