How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Slough?
Budget roughly £1,895–£5,095 per indoor unit ex VAT in Slough. 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.

How we work in Slough

We record what is installed, its condition and refrigerant, and what can be re-used.

Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
Local points to consider
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Working hours
Most Slough 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.
