Air conditioning replacement and removal in Greenwich

Prices in Greenwich
Air conditioning replacement and removal in Greenwich typically comes in at £255–£645 to remove and recover one system including VAT, based on London rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. Typical Like-for-like work (replace one system using sound existing routes) lands around £1,495–£2,945 in this area.

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

On a survey in Greenwich 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.
