How much will air conditioning cost? This is a question almost every interested party in Plzeň asks, whether they are dealing with an apartment on Slovanech, a studio flat on Borech, or a detached house in Lochotín or Doubravka. The exact amount can only be determined after an on-site survey, as the price depends on more factors than just the unit's capacity. This article provides indicative pricing and explains how the installation proceeds step by step.
How much does air conditioning installation cost in Plzeň
Turnkey air conditioning – meaning the unit including all installation – is available in Plzeň and the surrounding area. from approximately 20 000 Kč for one roomThis amount includes the outdoor and indoor units, connecting cables, electrical installation to the unit, wall penetration, and commissioning with an operational test. For multiple rooms or a multisplit system (one outdoor unit and several indoor units), the price increases according to the number of indoor units and their capacity, but since the installation of the outdoor unit and distribution is partially shared, the cost per room usually decreases slightly.
What influences the price
- Unit capacity – depends on the room's area and orientation, number of windows and building type (flat, apartment block, detached house).
- The length of the connecting cable between the outdoor and indoor units and the complexity of passing through the wall.
- Location of the outdoor unit – façade, balcony, loggia or roof, and possible need for a bracket or platform.
- Brand and unit series – most commonly with us are Daikin, Sinclair or LG.
- The number of indoor units in a multisplit system and their placement within the flat or house.
How installation proceeds step by step
From the first enquiry to a running air conditioner, there are just a few clear steps:
- Inquiry. Write to us or call, describe the space and what you expect from the air conditioning.
- Free survey. We will arrive on site, measure the room, advise on the placement of both units and discuss the routing of the connections.
- Quote within 24 hours. You will receive a specific price tailored to your space, not an estimate from the desk.
- Installation. The installation of a single split unit typically takes one day – drilling the penetration, hanging the units, connecting the piping, testing and commissioning.
- Handover. We will demonstrate the controls, recommend settings and arrange when to come for the first service.
When to schedule installation
The highest number of enquiries comes at the start of summer, when it becomes clear on hot days that an apartment on the south side in Slovane or under the roof in Bore is unbearable without air conditioning. During this period, dates fill up quickly, so it pays to book a survey in advance – ideally in spring, before daytime temperatures rise well above twenty degrees. Outside the summer season, we can usually arrange both the survey and installation sooner and without waiting for an available slot, which is useful if you are planning a renovation or facade insulation at the same time – passing through the wall and positioning the outdoor unit can then be resolved more easily before the facade work is completed, rather than afterwards into the finished render.
Experience from districts in Plzeň
Most often we install a single wall-mounted unit in the bedroom or living room of an apartment block on Slovanech or Borech – here the main issues are routing the pipe through the external wall and the aesthetic appearance of the outdoor unit relative to the façade. For detached houses in Doubravka or Lochotín, a multisplit with two to three indoor units is more common, as multiple rooms are cooled and heated simultaneously and one outdoor unit in the garden or beside the house suffices for the entire property. If you live in an apartment building, also bear in mind that the placement of the outdoor unit usually needs to be discussed in advance with the building's owners' association or housing cooperative – we cover this in detail in in a separate article about air conditioning for apartment blocks.
For offices and smaller businesses in central Plzeň or around Lochotín, we typically install cassette units concealed in the ceiling. These are suitable where there are multiple workstations and the air conditioning needs to cover the entire room evenly, not just one corner. Here too, the price depends on capacity, the number of units, and the complexity of the distribution system, so an on-site survey remains essential.
After installation, regular maintenance is worthwhile – how often air conditioners should be cleaned and what such servicing costs is described in the article. Air conditioning servicing and cleaning.
