Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Woking
For Woking landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Woking can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. We cover Woking and the rest of Surrey, including Guildford and Esher. We cover GU22 and the streets around them.
Prices in Woking
Guide prices around Woking run from £1,395 to £7,245 per property, one room to the whole let including VAT. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting South East England labour rates and parking and access costs. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. As an example, the Two rooms option (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) would typically be £2,845–£4,445 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
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
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
On a survey in Woking 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.
