Air conditioning replacement and removal in Cardiff
Humid summer spells in South Wales make dehumidifying and cooling equally welcome. During building work in Cardiff, units can be recovered and removed so the job can go ahead safely.
Units over fifteen years old in Cardiff homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. Cardiff is one of the main towns we cover in South Glamorgan, alongside Barry and Penarth. Coverage includes CF10, CF11, CF14, CF15, CF23 and CF24.
Prices in Cardiff
Air conditioning replacement and removal in Cardiff typically comes in at £180–£445 to remove and recover one system including VAT, based on South and Mid Wales rates. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical South and Mid Wales labour rates. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. As an example, the Like-for-like option (replace one system using sound existing routes) would typically be £1,045–£2,045 here.

Planning and permissions
In Wales, outdoor units of up to 1.5 m³ that meet MCS 020a noise limits are usually permitted development on houses; listed buildings need consent, and in conservation areas a unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road.
The survey
On a survey in Cardiff 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. We book surveys in Cardiff at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
