Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Guildford
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. For Guildford landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with.
If you let a holiday home or annexe near Guildford, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. Guildford sits around 6 miles from Woking, inside our Surrey area. We cover GU1 and the streets around them.
Prices in Guildford
For Guildford, expect roughly £1,395 to £7,245 per property, one room to the whole let, VAT included, adjusted for typical South East England rates. South East England is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. On our South East England figures, the Two rooms option (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) is about £2,845–£4,445.
Single room
One wall unit for a bedroom or studio.
Two rooms
Two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split.
Whole let
Three or four rooms, with a service plan.
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
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. 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.
