Did you know that an air conditioner not only improves the temperature but also ensures clean air? On Renoca you can find all your options and the air conditioning living room costs.
What does air conditioning in your living room cost?
Which airco you choose depends on the dimensions of your living room. Other factors that influence the most suitable air conditioner for your living room are: poor insulation, lots of sunlight shining into the living room, a flat roof and whether there are many doors opening and closing. With these factors, an air conditioner in the living room often needs more power than, say, an air conditioner in your bedroom. Beforehand, discuss carefully with the specialist which air conditioner is suitable for your living room. The table below shows the average air conditioning costs for living rooms of various sizes.
| Power | Average starting price including VAT and installation |
|---|---|
| 2.5 kW for living rooms up to 70 m³ | £1,300 |
| 3.5 kW for living rooms up to 120 m³ | £1.600 |
| 5.0 kW for living rooms up to 170 m³ | £ 1,800 |
| 7.0 kW for living rooms up to 240 m³ | £ 2,300 |

Price examples
Three examples will explain the airco living room costs.
Basic
Do you have a small living room that doesn’t have the sun on it all day? Buy an airco with 2.5 kW – 3.5 kW of power. This power is more than enough to give your living room the temperature you feel comfortable with. An air conditioner with 2.5 kW – 3.5 kW output starts from £ 1,300, including VAT and installation costs.
Average
Is your living room of average size and would you like to enjoy the pleasant cooling of an air conditioner in summer? Then choose an air conditioner with 3.5 kW – 5.0 kW of power. These powerful air conditioners provide the perfect indoor climate in your living room. Depending on the brand, the air conditioning living room cost for an average living room is £1,800, including VAT and installation costs.
Luxurious and powerful
If you have a large living room that requires a lot of cooling power, choose a powerful air conditioner with at least 5.0 kW – 7.0 kW of power. The price difference between powerful air conditioner models is very big. Especially the brand plays a big role in this. The airco living room costs for these air conditioners are on average £2,300, including VAT and installation costs.
What do the costs for airco in your living room consist of?
Installing an airco yourself is prohibited by law in the Netherlands. Only a certified STEK specialist is allowed to install an airco. This is because if installed incorrectly, refrigerant can leak out of the air conditioner, which is harmful to the environment.
Choices that determine the price of an air conditioner in your living room
The amount of the air conditioner living room costs is in your own hands: it is determined by the choices you make.
Choice 1: Brand of your air conditioner
The most important choice you make is the brand you choose. There are powerful B-brand air conditioners that are cheaper than a less powerful A-brand air conditioner. The difference in quality is in the lifespan, the materials used and the amount of noise the air conditioner makes. Get air conditioning quotes so you can compare various brands. The overview below shows the average prices per price range.
| Price range | Brands | Average air conditioner prices incl. VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Low | Eurom, Gree, Maxicool | £1.000 – £ 1,900 |
| High | Samsung, Mitsubishi, LG, Panasonic, Daikin | £ 1,300 – £ 2,500 |
Choice 2: Ceiling or wall system
Most people choose a wall-mounted air conditioner. This type of air conditioner can be placed in almost any room without any problems. The advantages of a ceiling system are that it is nicely concealed in the ceiling and, due to its central location, disperses cold air better. Installing a ceiling airco is not always possible in existing houses. Do you want to have a newly built house or an extension built where you would like to have a ceiling air conditioner installed? If so, involve your air conditioning specialist early in the process so that it is taken into account during construction. Ceiling systems are more expensive than a wall system because they are high-powered and take longer to install. For comparison, a 3.5 kW wall air conditioner from Samsung costs an average of £1,900 while a 3.5 kW ceiling air conditioner from Samsung costs an average of £2,900. Both prices include VAT and installation costs.
Choice 3: Extra options
With extra options, you can fully customise your air conditioner.
| Option | Average price including VAT | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Airco with control via mobile app | £ 100 – £ 200 extra | Control your airco from anywhere by controlling it via a mobile app. |
| Multiple indoor units | £ 700 – £ 800 per additional unit | It is possible to connect multiple indoor units to 1 outdoor unit. Enjoy multiple cool rooms in your home in this way. |
| Maintenance contract | £ 110 – £ 150 per year | Many times you can avoid large costs through proper maintenance. Take out a maintenance contract with a certified STEK specialist. |
| Design air conditioner | £ 400 extra | Choose a modern design so that your air conditioner matches the rest of your interior. |
