New build and renovation air conditioning in Launceston
South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much. Renovations in Launceston are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster.
First-fix pipework in Launceston extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Our Cornwall coverage takes in Launceston, about 40 miles from Truro. Coverage includes PL15.
Prices in Launceston
Air conditioning for new builds and renovations in Launceston typically comes in at £395–£895 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT, based on South West England rates. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. As an example, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) would typically be £1,450–£2,950 here.

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 Launceston 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. 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.
