Home air conditioning in Worthing
Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. Worthing lies roughly 22 miles from Crawley, and we cover it as part of West Sussex. Coverage includes BN11.
Rooms and systems
An extension in Worthing with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. If an older system in your Worthing home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. In a semi or terrace in Worthing, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. Old storage heaters in Worthing homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement.
Many homes start with one or two rooms. A system can be designed so that more rooms are added later without replacing the outdoor unit. Flats, listed homes and garden rooms each bring their own questions, from freeholder consent to cable routes, and we cover them at survey.
Guide prices in Worthing
Typical guide prices in Worthing, including VAT: a deep clean at £175–£300 per indoor unit, conservatory air conditioning at £1,745–£4,195 per system and a service at £115–£225 per system visit. 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. Flats need more care: get your freeholder's written consent first, and expect the planning rules for a block of flats in Worthing to be stricter than for a house.
Worthing 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.
