Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Crawley
For Crawley houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
In Crawley, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Crawley is one of the main towns we cover in West Sussex, alongside Worthing and Bognor Regis. Coverage includes RH11 and RH77.
Prices in Crawley
Guide prices around Crawley run from £2,245 to £4,445 per room including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. As an example, the Flat-fronted option (flat panel unit in white, black or silver for a living room) would typically be £2,745–£3,595 here.

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
For most houses in Crawley, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
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. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
