New build and renovation air conditioning across East Sussex
For new Brighton extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Renovations in Brighton are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation.
Prices in East Sussex
Guide prices around East Sussex run from £495 to £1,095 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. 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. On our South East England figures, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) is about £1,745–£3,595.

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%.
Working with your builder
On build projects the main thing is timing with your builder and electrician; we fit first-fix pipework before plastering and agree the outdoor unit position early.
The survey
We book surveys in East Sussex at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. A survey in East Sussex usually takes one to two hours.
