If you want a large cream box on the balcony then a split system is an option open to you.
It will need it's own circuit from the consumer unit. You can't just plug them into a 13A socket.
I could accept that. But like you say probably not a DIY job? Who could install for me, if anyone, as it would effectively be done on the sly without council / freeholder permission.
No. You can't buy the units or gas to fill them without the paperwork. And anyone who tells you they can is a cowboy.
And as you need pipework and a separate electric supply that will need punching through walls I'm not sure how you can hide the work.
