New build and renovation air conditioning across Bristol
First-fix pipework in Bristol extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. For new Bristol extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
Prices in Bristol
For Bristol, expect roughly £395 to £895 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included, adjusted for typical South West England rates. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. For reference, the First and second fix option in Bristol (complete install priced per room including units) usually comes to about £1,450–£2,950.

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
On build projects the main thing is timing with your builder and electrician; we fit first-fix pipework before plastering and agree the outdoor unit position early.
The survey
A survey in Bristol usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. We book surveys in Bristol at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
