What to expect, what affects price, and how to keep your cool without losing your savings.
Keeping your cool shouldn’t break the bank
As Essex summers get hotter and British houses stay… well, British, the question of how much air conditioning actually costs keeps coming up. Here’s a practical guide — minus the drama — on what you can expect to pay in 2025.
Average installation costs in Essex
For a standard single-room split system, expect to pay £1,800–£2,500 including parts, labour, and VAT.
A multi-room setup typically runs between £3,000–£6,000, depending on layout and pipe runs.
If your home aint 'normal' or your condenser has to climb a wall, expect more, or some compromises. Essex homeowners with period properties or flats with limited access may need scaffold or specialist fixings — Send us the details, with a pragmatic approach we can keep the costs sensible.
What affects the price
System type: Split vs multi-split (see our next article).
Access: Simple installs are cheaper — hard-to-reach outdoor units cost more.
Electrics: Older homes may need a circuit upgrade or spur.
Brand: Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Fujitsu — all solid, all slightly different in cost and warranty. We only fit the best for you.
Timing: Install in spring or autumn and you’ll likely save. When it’s 29°C, everyone’s phoning at once, expect AC installers to be in high demand.
Ways to save (without cutting corners)
Book early. Off-peak season = shorter wait times and often better quotes.
Go efficient. Newer systems cost more up front, but can heat as well as cool — saving on energy bills.
Ask about warranties. AC PRO installs come with manufacturer-backed warranties up to five years.
The takeaway
An Essex air conditioning system isn’t a luxury anymore — it’s an upgrade to comfort, sleep, and sanity.
You can spend thousands chasing cool air the old-fashioned way (fans, open windows, regrets), or invest once and actually enjoy summer.
Stay cool — we’ll keep the numbers sensible.
