What will decide the total cost of installation?

There are a number of factors that will determine what is going to be the cost of installation of your AC system.

The following are a few important factors considered:

  • The type/size of your property
  • The type/size of your AC
  • The specific AC models
  • Number of tradesmen hired
  • Ease of access
  • The location of your property

There is another important point to remember, which is also quite relevant these days as labourers may charge different rates in different cities of the country.

If you are living in the southeast (i.e. London in particular) then you can expect to pay a little higher labour costs compared to most other regions in the country such as Scotland or in the north of England.
