How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Sandown?

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.

Before you book in Sandown
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Working hours
Most Sandown businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.

Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Sandown are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

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.
What happens to the old refrigerant?
It is recovered into certified cylinders and sent for reclamation or destruction, with the paperwork kept on your records.
