Air conditioning around Crawley
About 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Houses typically have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
Living close to Church of St John the Evangelist? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.
Crawley is about 1 mile north-west of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Properties in Crawley get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we have finished. Our Oxfordshire coverage runs to 443 places, and Crawley is one of them. Guildford, roughly 56 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Jobs in OX29 are looked at, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. From Witney Hill, Farm Lane and Foxburrow Lane to the smaller roads in between, nowhere is left out. Nearby, we also cover air conditioning in Leafield (2 miles north-west), Swinbrook (4 miles west), Ascott d'Oyley (4 miles north-west), Ascott-under-Wychwood (5 miles north-west) and Ascott Earl (5 miles north-west).

Air conditioning installation in Crawley
The best installations are planned before a single hole is drilled. Each room is assessed for its size, windows, direction and how it’s used, then agree where the indoor and outdoor units go and how the pipework, cable and condensate drain will run, all before the price is fixed. Most enquiries from Crawley start with one hot room: a bedroom, a home office or a loft conversion. That is usually a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
For a home in or near Crawley, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Looking after it afterwards
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
- Keep the room closed while it runs
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
If anything is not right after we have gone, call us on the same number. Let us know what’s happening and any error code and we’ll help you sort it out.
Book an annual service. The engineer cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small problems early and keeps the warranty paperwork right where servicing is a condition.
How the visit works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Somewhere like Crawley, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Common questions in Crawley
Do you cover smaller places like Crawley?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Crawley?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 10 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Crawley. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Crawley, normally West Oxfordshire council).
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
It depends on the rooms and the building. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
How long will the installation take?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer, and we tell you how long on the quote.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Common problems we fix in Crawley
Everything that uses electricity in a room ends up as heat. A small office or a busy room can warm up fast with equipment and people in it, even on a mild day.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A room that’s unbearable on warm days
- An old system that needs replacing
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
With historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall about 1.1 miles west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
