Frequently Asked Questions About Air Conditioning in Portslade
Common questions from our Portslade customers about air conditioning and ventilation services
How much does air conditioning installation cost in Portslade?
Air conditioning costs in Portslade typically range from £1,200-£1,800 for a single room system, £2,800-£4,500 for multi-split systems covering 2-3 rooms, and £5,000+ for whole-house solutions.

Being a local company based in Sussex, we offer competitive pricing compared to national firms, and provide free, detailed quotes following a site survey of your Portslade property.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Portslade?
Most residential air conditioning installations in Portslade fall under permitted development. However, properties in conservation areas like Old Portslade Village, listed buildings, or installations where the external unit would face a highway may require permission. We're familiar with Brighton & Hove City Council's specific requirements for Portslade properties and can handle any necessary planning applications as part of our service.
How long does MVHR installation take in a Portslade property?
MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) installation in a typical Portslade property takes 2-5 days depending on the property type. For modern apartments in developments like Portslade-by-Sea, installation is often straightforward, while Victorian properties in areas like Old Portslade Village may require more time to ensure discreet integration with period features. Our Portslade-based team works efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring proper system performance.
Which air conditioning brands do you install in Portslade?
In Portslade, we install premium air conditioning brands including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. As certified installers for these manufacturers, we provide extended warranties and manufacturer-backed support specifically for our Portslade customers. We select brands and models based on your specific requirements, whether you need a system to withstand Portslade's coastal environment or energy-efficient cooling for your business in Station Road or Boundary Road.
How often should air conditioning systems in Portslade be serviced?
For residential Portslade properties, we recommend annual maintenance before the summer season. Commercial systems in high-traffic Portslade locations like Boundary Road shops or Station Road offices should be serviced bi-annually. Regular maintenance extends system lifespan up to 40%, prevents costly breakdowns, and maintains efficiency in Portslade's coastal environment. Our service plans start from £95 for residential systems and include a comprehensive 20-point health check.
