For South Shields, expect roughly £1,345 to £3,145 per system, VAT included, adjusted for typical North East England rates. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical North East England labour rates. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.

Planning and permissions

For most houses in South Shields, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
