New build and renovation air conditioning in Swansea
Wet South Wales winters make a heat pump's quiet, even heating and dehumidifying mode useful well beyond summer. Renovations in Swansea are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster.
For new Swansea extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Swansea is one of the main towns we cover in West Glamorgan, alongside Neath and Briton Ferry. We cover SA1 and the streets around them.
Prices in Swansea
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. Labour rates in South and Mid Wales keep this slightly under the national middle. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. For reference, the First and second fix option in Swansea (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
First-fix work is about coordination, while the outdoor unit follows the normal planning rules for the property.
The survey
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. 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.
