Home air conditioning in Reigate
Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. Reigate sits around 16 miles from Woking, inside our Surrey area. That includes the RH2 postcode district.
Rooms and systems
Balcony-mounted outdoor units are often the neatest solution for flats in Reigate. If your home in Reigate is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. If an older system in your Reigate home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. In a semi or terrace in Reigate, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below.
Flats, listed homes and garden rooms each bring their own questions, from freeholder consent to cable routes, and we cover them at survey. For a single hot bedroom or living room, a wall-mounted split is usually the simplest answer. Two to four rooms often suit a multi-split on one outdoor unit, while a ducted system hides everything except the grilles.
Guide prices in Reigate
As a guide, homes in Reigate can expect £6,645–£18,245 per system for a ducted system, £2,995–£9,445 for 2–4 rooms for a multi-split and £1,445–£3,595 per room for a bedroom or loft unit, VAT included. Installations are fixed in writing after a free survey; visits are priced before we come.
Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission. For flats in Reigate, the lease and the freeholder's consent come first. Planning rules for blocks of flats are stricter than for houses, and we check them before quoting.
Reigate is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
