New build and renovation air conditioning in Wantage
In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon. For new Wantage extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings.
Renovations in Wantage are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Wantage sits around 13 miles from Oxford, inside our Oxfordshire area. Postcode districts we cover here include OX12.
Prices in Wantage
In South East England, our guide range for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £495–£1,095 per indoor position (first fix), including VAT. 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
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.
