How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Acton?
Budget roughly £2,095–£5,695 per indoor unit ex VAT in Acton. For a typical job — replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework — expect £7,595–£18,550 plus VAT. The fixed price follows a free survey.
Air conditioning replacement is removing an old system — often one using R22 or R410A refrigerant — and installing new, more efficient equipment, re-using pipework where it is safe and compatible.
Covering Acton and nearby
Acton sits within London's dense commercial fabric: shopfronts, offices above, studios and venues, where outdoor unit positions and access need careful planning.
We cover every Acton postcode, including CO10, CW5, DY13, SY9 and W3. We also work in nearby Chiswick, Shepherds Bush and Willesden. In Acton, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.

The steps for a project in Acton
Survey
We record what is installed, its condition and refrigerant, and what can be re-used.
Plan the swap
Removal and installation are scheduled to keep downtime short.
Recover and remove
Refrigerant is recovered into certified cylinders and the old units removed. We keep work areas in Acton screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
Points to plan for in Acton
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Acton are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.

Will a new system be cheaper to run?

Often, if it is the right size, in good condition and compatible with the new refrigerant. We test and flush it before relying on it.
