Floor Standing Air Conditioning in Kent
A floor standing air conditioner sits low on the wall, a little like a modern radiator, and connects to an outdoor unit in the same way as a wall mounted system. We fit them in Kent loft rooms, conservatories and anywhere without a suitable high wall.

When is a floor standing air conditioner the right choice?
- Loft conversions with sloping ceilings, where no wall is tall enough for a wall mounted unit.
- Conservatories and garden rooms with glass or low walls all round.
- Rooms where the only free wall is under a window.
- Rooms used mainly for heating. Warm air rises, so releasing it at floor level warms the part of the room you sit in quickly.
- Replacing an old radiator or storage heater in the same spot.
Is a floor standing unit better than a wall mounted one?
Not better, just suited to different rooms:
| Floor standing | Wall mounted | |
|---|---|---|
| Position | Low on the wall, near the floor | High on the wall |
| Heating | Warm air starts at floor level, which suits rooms used mainly for heating | Good, with louvres angled down |
| Cooling | Good; many models blow from the top as well as the bottom | Good, with air spread from high up |
| Floor space | Takes a small footprint | None |
| Filter cleaning | Easy to reach | May need a step |
| Price | Usually more than an equivalent wall unit | Usually the best value |

Where should a floor standing air conditioner go?
It needs clear space in front so air can circulate, so avoid hiding it behind a sofa or long curtains. Because it sits low, the pipes and drain can often run straight out through the wall behind it, which lets condensation drain naturally to the outside.
The outdoor unit must be approved for the chosen indoor model, so outdoor equipment from another system cannot simply be reused. We agree its position, pipe route and service access as part of your quote.
Why are floor standing units quoted individually?
Floor standing models come in fewer sizes than wall units, and the right choice depends on the room's shape, the space available and how you will use it. Rather than show a price that may not fit your room, we look at photos or have a short video call, then send a tailored quote with the exact model and installation details.
Send us a few details about the room. If a wall mounted unit could work, you can also get an instant estimate from our online quote.
Frequently asked questions
Are floor standing air conditioners noisier?
Not by design. The compressor sits in the outdoor unit, and the indoor fan is similar to a wall unit's. Because a floor unit is closer to where you sit, compare the exact model's sound figures at the fan speed you expect to use.
Can a floor unit go in a conservatory?
Yes, and it is often the best option there. Conservatories gain and lose heat quickly, so getting the size right matters. Our guide to choosing the right size explains why.
Is it covered by the same warranty?
Yes. Every installation gets our 12 month installation guarantee, plus the manufacturer's warranty for that unit. See installation guarantee and manufacturer warranty.
