How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Sevenoaks?
Budget roughly £1,895–£5,095 per indoor unit ex VAT in Sevenoaks. For a typical job — replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework — expect £6,850–£16,695 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.

Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Leased premises
If your Sevenoaks premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
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.
