The cost varies. It depends what you want, or need, and how much you are prepared to compromise to improve your comfort.

At it's most basic, you can achieve comfort conditions in a small room, say 12' x 12' (4m x 4m) using a mobile or portable air conditioner. They do not suit every application but start at around £299.00 to purchase. Hiring can be a cheaper, short-term solution or leasing can ease the cash flow.

A single-piece, window or through-the-wall unit (not very common) can provide more cooling or heating at cheaper cost, but to this you will have to add the cost of building or glazing work and a correct power supply.

Small split-systems generally start at around £1300.00, supplied and installed. These are by far the most common form of air conditioning for small areas and can be fitted in multiples to serve larger areas or buildings.

Central systems or multi-splits are the fully tailored systems to suit buildings generally, and come in a variety of types, and from many manufacturers. Generally as a guide, you can allow anything from £65 per sq/m to £155 per sq/m, based upon the area you wish to treat, rather than gross floor area.

Every application and building is different, so the figures above are only a guide. If you would like a survey and quotation without further obligation, contact us now and we will be pleased to advise both the available options and respective costs.
