How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Peckham?
Our guide range in Peckham is £2,095–£5,695 per indoor unit before VAT; a typical job (replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework) is £7,595–£18,550 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.
Our coverage in Peckham
Premises in Peckham are often in mixed-use buildings with shared roofs and tight access, so outdoor unit positions are agreed early.
That includes premises in SE15 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Brixton (about 3 km), Greenwich (about 4 km) and Catford (about 5 km). In Peckham, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.
Included as standard
- Condition survey of the existing system

Local points to consider
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Working hours
Most Peckham businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.

Do you also cover Brixton, Greenwich and Catford?
Yes. Alongside Peckham, we also cover Brixton, Greenwich and Catford. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Peckham?
All of them, including SE15. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Will a new system be cheaper to run?
Usually. Modern inverter systems are considerably more efficient than equipment from 15–20 years ago, though savings depend on use.
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.
