On hot days and nights, probably everyone has seriously considered installing air conditioning. Installing an air conditioner is becoming an increasingly common service in commercial buildings, as well as in single-family homes, apartments or flats - not only those of a higher standard. An optimally selected and implemented air conditioning system is a way to really increase the comfort of everyday life. In this article, you will learn how much air conditioning installation costs and what factors shape the price of an air conditioning system.

How much does it cost to install air conditioning in a single-family home?
When analyzing the market, it is easy to notice that each installation company has its own price list for air conditioning installation, because many factors affect the cost of air conditioning (i.e. the device itself + necessary equipment and accessories) and its installation. Therefore, it is impossible to indicate a specific price for air conditioning installation in a single-family home. The costs will depend on the selected system and power, as well as the area of the building and the zones to be cooled. Owners of single-family homes should expect to spend from around PLN 8,000 to even PLN 20,000.
Air conditioning cost depending on cooling area
The air conditioning system must be adapted in terms of power to the surface it is to cool, as well as to the insulation used and the level of sunlight. An air conditioner that is not adapted to the square footage of the room uses more electricity, which increases electricity bills and wears out faster. The more powerful the device, the higher the cost of air conditioning. As a general rule, an average of 1 kW of cooling power is needed for every 10 m² of surface. However, the optimal parameters of the air conditioning system in a specific place, and therefore the total cost of the investment, can be determined by a specialist when preparing a quote.
Air conditioning installation costs
The most economical solution in terms of both purchase and installation is a portable air conditioner, because it does not require assembly and costs from about PLN 1,000 to about PLN 2,500. Investors who decide on a split air conditioner, i.e. consisting of an internal and external unit, must count on an expense of PLN 2,000-6,000 for the purchase of the device and about PLN 1,000-3,000 for its installation in the house/apartment. The most expensive to buy and install is a multi-split air conditioner. It can cost up to several thousand zlotys. In the case of the multi-split variant, it is necessary to install an external unit to which several internal units are connected, which is associated with complex work and an expense of PLN 3,000-6,000.
What else influences the price of an air conditioning system?
The price of air conditioning installation is influenced by:
- complexity of the system (including the number of indoor and outdoor units and the length of the cables),
- power of the device (the higher the power, the higher the price, as a rule),
- installation location (e.g. house, apartment, office),
- the level of complexity of assembly work,
- location (region, availability of specialists).
The price of an air conditioner depends primarily on:
- type of device (portable air conditioner, split air conditioner, multi-split air conditioner),
- nominal power,
- reputation of the manufacturer/brand.
It is worth noting that price lists published by HVAC installers on websites are usually indicative. They do not constitute commercial offers within the meaning of civil law regulations, as indicated by a special clause (usually located under the price list). This is a commonly used "gateway" to individual pricing of each project in order to be able to charge the investor for non-standard or unforeseen work.
