New build and renovation air conditioning in Salford
Renovations in Salford are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus.
First-fix pipework in Salford extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. We cover Salford as part of Greater Manchester, roughly 2 miles from Manchester. We cover M5, M6 and M50 and the streets around them.
Prices in Salford
Guide prices around Salford run from £375 to £845 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in North West England tend to be. What moves a quote in Salford up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. On our North West England figures, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) is about £1,395–£2,795.

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.
