Air conditioning replacement and removal in Barnstaple
Units over fifteen years old in Barnstaple homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
Replacements in Barnstaple can often reuse an existing bracket and wall opening where they are sound. Barnstaple sits around 49 miles from Plymouth, inside our Devon area. We cover EX31 and the streets around them.
Prices in Barnstaple
In South West England, our guide range for air conditioning replacement and removal is £195–£495 to remove and recover one system, including VAT. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. On our South West England figures, the Like-for-like option (replace one system using sound existing routes) is about £1,150–£2,250.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
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.
