Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Crawley
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. For Crawley landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with.
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Crawley can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. Crawley is one of the main towns we cover in West Sussex, alongside Worthing and Bognor Regis. Postcode districts we cover here include RH11 and RH77.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
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. Surveys in Crawley cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
