Wall-mounted air conditioning in Crawley

Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Crawley needs.

Where a home in Crawley faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. We cover Crawley and the rest of West Sussex, including Worthing and Bognor Regis. That includes the RH11 and RH77 postcode districts.

Prices in Crawley

Budget around £1,395–£3,595 per room including VAT for wall-mounted air conditioning in and around Crawley. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. As an example, the Popular option (quieter mid-range unit with Wi-Fi control and better seasonal efficiency for a living room) would typically be £1,895–£2,595 here.

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

For most houses in Crawley, 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. We book surveys in Crawley at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.

What is included

Included as standard in Crawley:

  • Nitrogen pressure test and deep vacuum before commissioning
  • Supply of an R32 inverter unit sized to the room
  • Core-drilled wall penetration and sealed sleeve
  • Insulated copper pipework, drain and interconnecting cable
  • Handover of the remote, Wi-Fi app (where fitted) and filter cleaning
