Air conditioning in RH10: how it works

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. The work covers ducted systems, VRF systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient and a loft conversion that’s too warm to use.

The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.

  1. You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
  2. Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
  3. We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
  4. We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
  5. The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.

Air conditioning across RH10

From Crawley, Broadfield and Bewbush outwards, RH10 has every kind of home. We survey every property before we quote.

An F-Gas certified company does the refrigerant side, and the electrics come under our NICEIC approval.

Crawley: Older streets near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. Plenty of people near Crawley station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.

Managing agents and facilities teams in RH10

Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we will keep everyone informed.

Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.

Why act early?

New systems now use lower-impact refrigerants. Since 2025, new single split systems with less than 3 kg of refrigerant can’t use F gases with a GWP above 750, which is why R32, with a GWP of 675, is now common. Older R410A systems have a GWP of 2088.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
  • Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
  • If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
  • Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it

When something else is needed

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
  • A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
  • A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation

How we price air conditioning

Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:

  • The number of rooms, units or zones
  • What state the existing equipment is in
  • The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
  • The type of system, from a single split to a larger system

What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:

  • A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
  • The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
  • The address and the type of property
  • The make and model of the system, from the label

To help us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email.

FAQs for RH10

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.

Can landlords and managing agents book you?

Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.

Which type of air conditioning is best?

There’s no single best type. 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. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.

Is planning permission needed for the outdoor unit?

Sometimes. The rules differ for heat pumps and cooling-only air conditioning, and for houses, flats, listed buildings and conservation areas. We point out anything that may need permission at the survey, and the council has the final say. This is general information, not legal advice.

Do you provide F-Gas records?

Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.

Will skipping a service affect the warranty?

That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.

How much is air conditioning for one room?

For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and F-Gas documentation included. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
