New build and renovation air conditioning in Bath
First-fix pipework in Bath extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much.
Renovations in Bath are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Bath sits around 41 miles from Taunton, inside our Somerset area. We cover BA1 and the streets around them.
Prices in Bath
Air conditioning for new builds and renovations in Bath typically comes in at £395–£895 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT, based on South West England rates. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. For reference, the First and second fix option in Bath (complete install priced per room including units) usually comes to about £1,450–£2,950.

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 Bath at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Bath the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
