How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Taunton?
Budget roughly £1,695–£4,650 per indoor unit ex VAT in Taunton. For a typical job — replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework — expect £6,195–£15,095 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.

Points to plan for in Taunton
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 Taunton 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.
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.
Premises we work in around Taunton
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- 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 England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Which postcodes do you cover in Taunton?
All of them, including TA1. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
Should we replace R410A systems now?
Not necessarily. If an R410A system is working well and maintained, keep it. Plan replacement when it becomes unreliable or expensive to run.
