Home gym and media room air conditioning across West Sussex
Basement and garage rooms in Crawley usually need a quick check of the supply and the drainage route before quoting. Garage gyms and media rooms in Crawley often face the same problem: thin walls and a lot of heat from people and equipment. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.

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%.

For most houses in West Sussex, 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.
