New build and renovation air conditioning in Belfast
First-fix pipework in Belfast extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. In Northern Ireland, cooling is mostly needed in conservatories and glazed rooms, while efficient heating benefits the whole home.
Renovations in Belfast are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. We cover Belfast and the rest of County Antrim, including Lisburn and Newtownabbey. Homes in BT1, BT2, BT3, BT7, BT9 and 3 more are all within our coverage.
Prices in Belfast
Guide prices around Belfast run from £365 to £795 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Northern Ireland labour rates. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. On our Northern Ireland figures, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) is about £1,345–£2,695.

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%.
Working with your builder
Because the pipework is built into the structure, coordination with your builder matters more than planning here; the outdoor unit follows the same rules as any other installation.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
