How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Eastbourne?
Our guide range in Eastbourne is £1,895–£5,095 per indoor unit before VAT; a typical job (replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework) is £6,850–£16,695 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.

From enquiry to handover in Eastbourne
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 Eastbourne screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
Local points to consider
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Leased premises
If your Eastbourne premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Eastbourne often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Typical premises in Eastbourne
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
