How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Cirencester?
Budget roughly £1,695–£4,650 per indoor unit ex VAT in Cirencester. For a typical job — replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework — expect £6,195–£15,095 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.

Local points to consider
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Cirencester are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Working hours
Most Cirencester businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
