Air Conditioning Installation in Teesside, County Durham & North Yorkshire
Mitsubishi, Daikin and Fujitsu systems that keep you cool in summer and heat your home efficiently in winter, installed by our qualified engineers.
Modern air conditioning does far more than cool a room. Today’s systems are air-to-air heat pumps, so the same unit that keeps you comfortable on a hot summer’s day also heats your home efficiently through the winter. As an experienced air conditioning installer, ALPS Electrical fits systems from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Fujitsu and Daikin, three of the most trusted names in the industry. Our recommended system is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, chosen for its reliability, efficiency and quiet operation, but we’re happy to fit Fujitsu or Daikin where they suit your home or business better. We serve homes and businesses across Teesside, County Durham and North Yorkshire. As a family-run, NAPIT-approved company based in Yarm, we bring the same care to every air conditioning installation that we do to our solar, battery and EV charger work.
Quick answer
How much does air conditioning cost to install in the UK?
A single-room Mitsubishi Heavy Industries system starts from around £2,540 installed, and a typical two-room system is around £3,495. Each quote is made up of three parts. The outdoor unit costs £1,395 to £1,795. Each indoor unit costs £795 to £875, which includes installation, up to 5 metres of pipework, condensate drainage, cabling and trunking. A standard electrical installation costs £350. Because our systems heat as well as cool, home installations currently qualify for 0% VAT until 31 March 2027. Business installations are subject to VAT. All prices are confirmed after a site survey.
Heating and Cooling in One System
An air conditioning system moves heat rather than creating it. In summer, it draws warmth out of your room and releases it outside. In winter, it works in reverse, extracting heat from the outside air, even on cold days, and bringing it indoors.
Because the system moves heat instead of generating it, it’s highly efficient. A modern unit can deliver several units of heat for every unit of electricity it uses, which makes it one of the most cost-effective ways to heat individual rooms. You get year-round comfort from a single, quiet, wall-mounted unit, controlled from a remote or your smartphone.
The Brands We Install as an Air Conditioning Installer
We’ve chosen to work with three manufacturers known for reliability, efficiency and quiet operation.
A world leader in air conditioning and heat pump technology, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is known for stylish, whisper-quiet indoor units, excellent energy ratings and strong heating performance in cold weather.
Fujitsu systems combine high efficiency with practical, dependable design. Fujitsu offers a wide range of indoor units to suit different rooms, budgets and building types.
Daikin is a global specialist in air conditioning and heat pumps, offering sleek, quiet indoor units with excellent energy efficiency, smart control options and dependable performance all year round.
We’ll recommend the model that best suits your space, your heating and cooling needs and your budget.
Types of Systems
Single split systems
One indoor unit connected to one outdoor unit, ideal for heating and cooling a single bedroom, living room, conservatory or home office.
- Indoor unit
- Outdoor unit
- Airflow
Multi-split systems
Several indoor units run from one outdoor unit, so you can heat and cool multiple rooms, each set to its own temperature, with only one unit outside.
- Indoor units
- One outdoor unit
- Airflow
- Pipework hidden in the loft
Smart Control, Whatever the Season
Switch between heating and cooling at the touch of a button, or let the system change automatically to hold your chosen temperature. With smartphone app control, you can warm your home before you get back on a winter’s evening or cool your bedroom before bedtime on a summer’s night. Timers and individual room settings mean you only use energy where and when you need it.
Air conditioning cost guide
Work out the likely cost of your system
Choose your rooms and unit sizes to see an indicative price for a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries system. We’ll confirm the final design and price after a survey.
1How many rooms?
2Indoor unit for each room
Not sure? Pick the closest match. Our surveyor sizes each unit from your room dimensions and heat load.
3Outdoor unit
We suggest a size based on your indoor units. You can change it to compare prices.
Your indoor units add up to more than 6 kW. Larger combinations are designed at survey, so treat this price as a starting point.
Your indicative price
Estimated total£0
Where your system sits
Each indoor unit includes installation, up to 5 metres of refrigeration pipework, condensate drainage, interconnecting cable, white or black trunking and installation sundries. The electrical installation covers circuit protection, surge protection, an AC isolator, cabling and cable management.
What could change the final price?
This guide gives an initial indication of cost. Every installation is subject to a survey, final system design and confirmation of room dimensions, unit positions, pipework routes, condensate drainage and electrical requirements.
Additional costs may apply where pipework runs beyond 5 metres per indoor unit, condensate pumps are needed, access is difficult, or the installation is non-standard. The standard electrical price assumes the outdoor unit can sit reasonably close to your meter cupboard or consumer unit. Longer or more complex cable routes are priced after the survey.
Send us the rooms you’d like to air condition with their approximate dimensions, and we can usually suggest the most suitable system before arranging a survey.
