How much does ducted air conditioning cost in Merseyside?
In Merseyside, guide prices run from about £3,395 to £7,795 per ducted zone, plus VAT. A typical job (reception or boardroom with one ducted zone) usually comes to £3,850–£7,795 plus VAT. The fixed price follows a free survey.
Ducted air conditioning uses an indoor unit hidden in the ceiling void or a plant space, connected by ductwork to grilles or slot diffusers in the room.

The steps for a project in Merseyside
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork. For sites in Merseyside we confirm access and parking beforehand.
Design the air side
Grille sizes and positions are chosen for even air flow and low noise.
Install unit and ducts
The unit is hung with access for servicing; ductwork and grilles are fitted.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Points to plan for in Merseyside
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Merseyside 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.
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Merseyside are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Premises we work in around Merseyside
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- 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.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.

Yes. Alongside Merseyside, we also cover Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Lancashire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Can ducted units bring in fresh air?
Some ducted units can accept a fresh-air connection; in other cases ventilation is provided separately.
How much ceiling void is needed?
Low-profile units can work in around 250–300 mm, but the duct route often needs more. We measure at survey.
