Single-room systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, while a two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation are all included, with commercial and VRF systems priced after a survey.

For a home in or near Cripp's Corner, 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.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

After we have gone
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Let filters dry fully before you put them back
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
Before we leave, the system is commissioned and tested in each mode. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer, so you are confident using it.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, which makes the whole system less efficient.

Leave it or put it right?
Fans and portables move warm air around rather than removing it. A properly installed split moves heat outside, keeps the noisy parts out of the room and most of the time heats too, so it earns its keep all year. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Signs you need air conditioning in Cripp's Corner
Bedrooms that are too warm at night are a frequent reason for a call. An open window doesn’t always cool a bedroom that has warmed up all day, particularly when there’s no breeze.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- An office, shop or restaurant that’s uncomfortable for staff and customers
- A system on old refrigerant that’s due for replacement
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
Durhamford Manor (roughly 1.5 miles south) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

FAQs for Cripp's Corner
Can I fit air conditioning in Cripp's Corner without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Cripp's Corner. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Cripp's Corner, normally Rother council).
Do you cover smaller places like Cripp's Corner?
Yes. Cripp's Corner is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
Number of rooms, space outside and how much of the unit you want to see all decide it. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat a room in winter. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Some cooling-only models exist, so we confirm it for the model on your quote.
What we do, step by step
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 for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Cripp's Corner.
- First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Air conditioning around Cripp's Corner
VOA council tax data put about 42% of homes across Cripp's Corner and its surrounding area before 1919, and about 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Older homes often have solid walls, which take longer to core drill, so we plan pipe routes carefully and keep them as discreet as we can. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split.
Older streets near St Marks Staplecross may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
