Wall-mounted air conditioning in Eastbourne

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 semi or terrace in Eastbourne, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below.

A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Eastbourne needs. Our East Sussex coverage takes in Eastbourne, about 19 miles from Brighton. Coverage includes BN21.

Planning and permissions

For most houses in Eastbourne, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.

The survey

Surveys in Eastbourne cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. A survey in Eastbourne usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
