Floor-Mounted Air Conditioners in Bristol & the South West
Floor-mounted air conditioners provide an effective solution where high-level wall space is limited, where ceilings are sloped, or where low-level airflow is preferred for comfort. These systems sit at low level against a wall or beneath a window, delivering conditioned air directly into the occupied zone for fast, even temperature control.
Controlled Climate installs floor-mounted AC units across Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire and surrounding South West locations. Floor-mounted installations form part of our wider home air conditioning services and selected commercial applications.

Service area
We install floor-mounted air conditioners across Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire and surrounding South West regions.
Why choose floor-mounted AC?
Floor-mounted systems are designed for spaces where traditional wall-mounted units are impractical or where low-level airflow provides better comfort. They are particularly useful in rooms with large areas of glazing, dwarf walls, restricted upper wall space or sloping ceilings.
- Suited to glass-heavy rooms and dwarf walls
- Improves comfort in challenging layouts
- Can be combined with other system types as part of multi-split installations
- Provides both heating and cooling from a single unit
- Simple access for day-to-day upkeep
Floor-mounted unit installations
We install floor-mounted systems from leading manufacturers, selected to match room size, glazing, insulation levels and expected usage. Where required, floor-mounted units can be combined with wall-mounted, ceiling cassette or ducted systems as part of a wider configuration. For alternative options, see our discreet ducted home air conditioning systems.
Our installation process
1. Site survey
We assess room layout, glazing, ceiling shape, available low-level wall space, access routes and potential outdoor unit positions. Heat gain, insulation and electrical supply are reviewed at the same time.
2. System design
A tailored design sets out the correct unit capacity, floor or low-wall position, outdoor unit location and pipework routing. We consider aesthetics, furniture placement and practical maintenance access.
3. Professional installation
Installation is planned to minimise disruption, with protection for flooring and surrounding finishes. All work is completed to manufacturer standards and current UK regulations.
4. Testing and commissioning
We verify refrigerant pressures, airflow, temperature performance, controls and drainage before handover. Your installer explains how to use key settings and look after basic filter cleaning.
Maintenance and aftercare
Regular servicing keeps floor-mounted systems efficient, clean and reliable. Our service team provides planned maintenance and one-off visits, including filter cleaning, coil cleaning, refrigerant checks and electrical inspections.

Frequently asked questions
When are floor-mounted units better than wall-mounted systems?
They are often better in rooms with limited high wall space, extensive glazing or sloped ceilings, where traditional wall-mounted units are difficult to position.
Are floor-mounted air conditioners noisy?
No. Modern systems are designed for quiet operation, suitable for lounges, bedrooms and home offices.
Do floor-mounted units provide heating as well as cooling?
Yes. Most units use heat pump technology to deliver efficient heating and cooling from the same system.
Can floor-mounted systems be combined with other units?
Yes. They can be part of a multi-split configuration alongside wall-mounted, cassette or ducted units where multiple rooms are being conditioned.
How long does a floor-mounted installation take?
Most single-room installations are completed within a working day, depending on access and route for pipework.
