Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Crawley
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. For bedrooms in Crawley, we place the outdoor unit at the back of the house, away from neighbours' windows.
Top-floor flats in Crawley feel the heat most, because the roof sits right above the bedroom. Crawley is one of the main towns we cover in West Sussex, alongside Worthing and Bognor Regis. Postcode districts we cover here include RH11 and RH77.
Prices in Crawley
In South East England, our guide range for bedroom and loft air conditioning is £1,445–£3,595 per room, including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. What moves a quote in Crawley up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. As an example, the Popular option (low-noise unit with Wi-Fi for a loft room or main bedroom) would typically be £1,895–£2,695 here.
Essential
2–2.5 kW unit for a small bedroom with a short pipe run.
Popular
Low-noise unit with Wi-Fi for a loft room or main bedroom.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
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.
The survey
On a survey in Crawley the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
