How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Portadown?
Budget roughly £1,500–£4,095 per indoor unit ex VAT in Portadown. For a typical job — replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework — expect £5,450–£13,350 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.

Points to plan for in Portadown
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Working hours
Most Portadown businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Portadown
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.

Compliance in Northern Ireland: refrigerant work falls under EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
