How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Surrey?
In Surrey, guide prices run from about £1,895 to £5,095 per indoor unit, plus VAT. A typical job (replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework) usually comes to £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.

The steps for a project in Surrey
Survey
We record what is installed, its condition and refrigerant, and what can be re-used.
Plan the swap
Removal and installation are scheduled to keep downtime short.
Recover and remove
Refrigerant is recovered into certified cylinders and the old units removed. We keep work areas in Surrey screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
Things to check in Surrey
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Leased premises
If your Surrey 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.
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Surrey often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Typical premises in Surrey
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
FAQs for Surrey
How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Surrey?
Guide prices in Surrey run from about £1,895 to £5,095 per indoor unit, plus VAT. A typical job (replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework) costs £6,850–£16,695 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover London, Berkshire and West Sussex?
Yes. Alongside Surrey, we also cover London, Berkshire and West Sussex. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
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.
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.
