The cost of running air conditioning in the UK is more affordable than many people think, especially with modern, energy-efficient systems. On average, running a standard wall-mounted unit will cost around 20p to 40p per hour, depending on the unit size, energy efficiency, and electricity rates. Using features like inverter technology and temperature control can help reduce energy use. Remember, you don’t have to run the system continuously; using it sensibly helps keep costs low.

In most cases, you won’t need planning permission to install air conditioning in Sussex. However, there are some exceptions. You may need permission if:

• Your property is listed or located in a conservation area.
• The external unit is positioned on a public-facing wall or in a visible location that affects the building’s appearance.
• The unit exceeds specific noise or size limits.
