Wall-mounted air conditioning in Hastings
Where a home in Hastings faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
In a semi or terrace in Hastings, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. We cover Hastings as part of East Sussex, roughly 31 miles from Brighton. Homes in TN34 are all within our coverage.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Hastings, 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
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. Surveys in Hastings cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
