How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Wellington?
Our guide range in Wellington is £1,650–£4,450 per indoor unit before VAT; a typical job (replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework) is £5,950–£14,500 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.
Where we work around Wellington
In a town like Wellington, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Telford is about 5 km away.
That includes premises in CA20, HR4, TA21 and TF1 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Telford (about 5 km), Shrewsbury (about 16 km) and Stafford (about 29 km). For air conditioning replacement in Wellington, the survey looks at where the outdoor unit can go, how pipework will reach the indoor units and whether the electrical supply has capacity.
What is included
- Condition survey of the existing system

The steps for a project in Wellington
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 Wellington screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
What to think about in Wellington
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Working hours
Most Wellington 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.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Premises we work in around Wellington
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
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).
Your questions answered
How much does it cost to replace air conditioning in Wellington?
Guide prices in Wellington run from about £1,650 to £4,450 per indoor unit, plus VAT. A typical job (replacing a 3–4 unit system, re-using sound pipework) costs £5,950–£14,500 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Telford, Shrewsbury and Stafford?
Yes. Alongside Wellington, we also cover Telford, Shrewsbury and Stafford. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Wellington?
All of them, including CA20, HR4, TA21 and TF1. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
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.
