Wall-mounted air conditioning in Croydon
In a semi or terrace in Croydon, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights.
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Croydon needs. Croydon is about 8 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. We cover CR0, CR7 and CR9 and the streets around them.
Prices in Croydon
For Croydon, expect roughly £1,495 to £3,895 per room, VAT included, adjusted for typical London rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. For reference, the Popular option in Croydon (quieter mid-range unit with Wi-Fi control and better seasonal efficiency for a living room) usually comes to about £2,045–£2,845.

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.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Croydon, 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
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. A survey in Croydon 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.
