Air conditioning replacement and removal across Cornwall
Units over fifteen years old in Truro homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. During building work in Truro, units can be recovered and removed so the job can go ahead safely. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
Prices in Cornwall
For Cornwall, expect roughly £195 to £495 to remove and recover one system, VAT included, adjusted for typical South West England rates. It sits near the middle of UK prices. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. As an example, the Like-for-like option (replace one system using sound existing routes) would typically be £1,150–£2,250 here.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Cornwall, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
On a survey in Cornwall 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. A survey in Cornwall 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.
