How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Gloucestershire?
Budget roughly £1,695–£4,650 per indoor unit ex VAT in Gloucestershire. 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.

How a job in Gloucestershire works
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.

Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
What to think about in Gloucestershire
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Leased premises
If your Gloucestershire 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.
Premises we work in around Gloucestershire
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
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.
Questions about replacement and upgrades in Gloucestershire
How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Gloucestershire?
Guide prices in Gloucestershire run from about £1,695 to £4,650 per indoor unit, plus VAT. A typical job (replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework) costs £6,195–£15,095 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Herefordshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire?
Yes. Alongside Gloucestershire, we also cover Herefordshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Is it illegal to use R22 air conditioning?
No — you can keep running an R22 system, but it cannot be maintained with virgin or recycled R22, so most repairs involving the refrigerant circuit are no longer possible.
What happens to the old refrigerant?
It is recovered into certified cylinders and sent for reclamation or destruction, with the paperwork kept on your records.
