New build and renovation air conditioning in Maidstone
Renovations in Maidstone are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus.
For new Maidstone extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Maidstone is one of the main towns we cover in Kent, alongside Gillingham and Chatham. That includes the ME14 postcode district.
Prices in Maidstone
For Maidstone, expect roughly £495 to £1,095 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included, adjusted for typical South East England rates. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting South East England labour rates and parking and access costs. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. 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
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 Maidstone 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. 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.
