New build and renovation air conditioning in Eastleigh
The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first. First-fix pipework in Eastleigh extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open.
Renovations in Eastleigh are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Eastleigh is about 5 miles from Southampton and falls within our Hampshire coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include SO50.
Prices in Eastleigh
Our South East England guide price for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £495–£1,095 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included. South East England is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. As an example, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) would typically be £1,745–£3,595 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
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.
The survey
A survey in Eastleigh 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.
