New build and renovation air conditioning across Hampshire
Renovations in Southampton are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. First-fix pipework in Southampton extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
Prices in Hampshire
Air conditioning for new builds and renovations in Hampshire typically comes in at £495–£1,095 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT, based on South East England rates. South East England is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. On our South East England figures, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) is about £1,745–£3,595.

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
We book surveys in Hampshire at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. 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.
