How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Leicestershire?
Budget roughly £1,595–£4,350 per indoor unit ex VAT in Leicestershire. For a typical job — replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework — expect £5,850–£14,195 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 Leicestershire
Survey
We record what is installed, its condition and refrigerant, and what can be re-used. For sites in Leicestershire we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
What to think about in Leicestershire
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
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 Leicestershire businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

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.

Do you also cover Rutland, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire?
Yes. Alongside Leicestershire, we also cover Rutland, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
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.
Can existing pipework be re-used?
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.
