Multi-split air conditioning in Hastings
Multi-split is a good fit for Hastings flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
In a house in Hastings with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear. Our East Sussex coverage takes in Hastings, about 31 miles from Brighton. We cover TN34 and the streets around them.

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.
