Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Croydon
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. If you let a holiday home or annexe near Croydon, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer.
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Croydon can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. Croydon lies roughly 8 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. Coverage includes CR0, CR7 and CR9.
Prices in Croydon
Budget around £1,495–£7,845 per property, one room to the whole let including VAT for air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in and around Croydon. London is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. What moves a quote in Croydon 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 Two rooms option (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) would typically be £3,095–£4,795 here.
Single room
One wall unit for a bedroom or studio.
Two rooms
Two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split.
Whole let

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
A survey in Croydon usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. 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.
