Air conditioning replacement and removal in Bath
Units over fifteen years old in Bath homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
During building work in Bath, units can be recovered and removed so the job can go ahead safely. Bath sits around 41 miles from Taunton, inside our Somerset area. Coverage includes BA1.
Prices in Bath
For Bath, expect roughly £195 to £495 to remove and recover one system, VAT included, adjusted for typical South West England 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. For reference, the Like-for-like option in Bath (replace one system using sound existing routes) usually comes to about £1,150–£2,250.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
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. A survey in Bath 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.
