New build and renovation air conditioning in Cardiff
Renovations in Cardiff are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Wet South Wales winters make a heat pump's quiet, even heating and dehumidifying mode useful well beyond summer.
For new Cardiff extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Cardiff is one of the main towns we cover in South Glamorgan, alongside Barry and Penarth. That includes the CF10, CF11, CF14, CF15, CF23 and CF24 postcode districts.
Prices in Cardiff
In South and Mid Wales, our guide range for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £365–£795 per indoor position (first fix), including VAT. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical South and Mid Wales labour rates. 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. For reference, the First and second fix option in Cardiff (complete install priced per room including units) usually comes to about £1,345–£2,695.

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 Cardiff at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. A survey in Cardiff 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.
