Wall-mounted air conditioning across Surrey
Where a home in Woking faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Woking needs. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
Prices in Surrey
Guide prices around Surrey run from £1,395 to £3,595 per room including VAT. South East England is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
On a survey in Surrey the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. 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.
