New build and renovation air conditioning in Birmingham
In the West Midlands, sizing for winter heating first and then checking summer cooling usually gives the best all-year system. First-fix pipework in Birmingham extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open.
Renovations in Birmingham are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. As well as Birmingham itself, our West Midlands coverage takes in Coventry, Wolverhampton and the towns around them. Coverage includes B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and 3 more.
Prices in Birmingham
Air conditioning for new builds and renovations in Birmingham typically comes in at £385–£895 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT, based on West Midlands 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. On our West Midlands figures, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) is about £1,395–£2,895.

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
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. A survey in Birmingham 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.
