How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Nottingham?
Our guide range in Nottingham is £1,595–£4,350 per indoor unit before VAT; a typical job (replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework) is £5,850–£14,195 plus VAT. Your exact price is fixed in writing once we have surveyed.
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 it works in Nottingham
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 Nottingham 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 Nottingham
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Nottingham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Nottingham 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 Nottingham
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
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).
Your questions answered

Do you also cover West Bridgford, Arnold and Hucknall?
Yes. Alongside Nottingham, we also cover West Bridgford, Arnold and Hucknall. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Nottingham?
All of them, including NG1, NG3 and NG7. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
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.
