New build and renovation air conditioning in Exeter
Renovations in Exeter are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
First-fix pipework in Exeter extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Exeter sits around 36 miles from Plymouth, inside our Devon area. Homes in EX2 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Exeter
In South West England, our guide range for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £395–£895 per indoor position (first fix), including VAT. It sits near the middle of UK prices. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. Typical First and second fix work (complete install priced per room including units) lands around £1,450–£2,950 in this area.

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.
