How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Hawick?
Our guide range in Hawick is £1,595–£4,250 per indoor unit before VAT; a typical job (replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework) is £5,695–£13,895 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.
Hawick and surrounding areas
In a town like Hawick, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer.
Postcode districts we cover in Hawick include TD9. Nearby, we also cover Galashiels (about 21 km), Kelso (about 30 km) and Peebles (about 36 km).

The steps for a project in Hawick
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 Hawick screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
What to think about in Hawick
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 Hawick 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.
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Hawick are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Should we replace R410A systems now?
Not necessarily. If an R410A system is working well and maintained, keep it. Plan replacement when it becomes unreliable or expensive 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.
