Sussex Air Conditioning & Heat Pumps LTD has been installing air conditioning systems for homes and businesses across East Sussex and West Sussex for over 20 years. Whether you need a single split system for a bedroom or a full multi-zone installation for a commercial premises, our F-Gas certified engineers will survey, specify, and install the right system for your building.
Types of Air Conditioning System We Install
We supply and install a full range of air conditioning systems to suit domestic and commercial properties of all sizes. Every installation begins with a free site survey to ensure the right system is specified for your building, usage, and budget.
High Wall Mounted Split Systems
The most popular choice for bedrooms, living rooms, home offices, and small commercial spaces. Wall-mounted units are compact, quiet, and capable of both cooling and heating year round. We install systems from leading brands including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, and Fujitsu.
Multi-Split Systems
Where outdoor space is limited, a single outdoor unit can serve multiple indoor units across different rooms. Multi-split systems are ideal for larger homes and offices where a clean installation with minimal external equipment is a priority.
Ducted Air Conditioning
For a completely concealed solution, ducted systems distribute conditioned air through ceiling voids with discreet grilles as the only visible element. Ducted systems suit larger residential properties, open-plan spaces, and commercial premises where aesthetics are important.
Cassette and Ceiling Units
Ceiling cassette units sit flush within a suspended ceiling and provide 360-degree air distribution. These are widely used in offices, retail units, restaurants, and other commercial environments where wall space is limited.
Floor Standing Units
Floor-mounted systems are an effective solution where wall mounting is not practical – ideal for conservatories, period properties, and spaces with limited ceiling height.
We install domestic air conditioning in properties across Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne, Lewes, Seaford, Newhaven, Peacehaven, and throughout East Sussex and West Sussex. Common residential applications include:

Health and Comfort Benefits of Air Conditioning
Modern air conditioning systems do far more than cool a room. A well-specified system filters and circulates air continuously, removing particulates, pollen, and dust – which can make a significant difference to those with allergies, hay fever, respiratory conditions, or sensitivities to poor air quality. For older adults and those with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, maintaining a stable comfortable temperature year round can also reduce symptom flare-ups.
Air conditioning also controls humidity, which reduces condensation, mould risk, and the musty atmosphere common in older properties – a genuine benefit for homes across coastal East Sussex.

Air Conditioning Installation FAQs
How much does air conditioning installation cost in Sussex?
Installation costs vary depending on the type of system, number of indoor units, and the complexity of the installation. A single split system for a bedroom or small office typically starts from around £1,200-£1,800 fully installed. Multi-zone and commercial systems are priced on a per-project basis following a free site survey. We provide written quotations before any work begins.
Does air conditioning also heat as well as cool?
Yes. All modern split air conditioning systems operate as reverse-cycle heat pumps, meaning they can provide efficient heating as well as cooling. Many of our customers use their systems as their primary heating source in rooms where running costs are a priority – modern inverter systems can be 3-4 times more energy-efficient than electric panel heaters.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Sussex?
In most cases, residential air conditioning installations fall under Permitted Development and do not require planning permission. Exceptions apply to listed buildings, properties in conservation areas, and some flats and leasehold properties. We advise on planning considerations as part of our free site survey. For commercial installations, requirements vary – contact us to discuss your specific property.
How long does installation take?
A single split system installation typically takes half a day to one full day. Multi-unit or ducted installations in larger properties will take longer and we will advise on timescales during your survey. We work to minimise disruption and leave sites clean and tidy.
