If your AC system is failing frequently, or isn’t working as it should, then you may be considering replacing it. Air conditioner replacement cost for commercial buildings can vary significantly depending on the type of system, the building’s size and layout, and the complexity of the installation.

In the UK, it’s a legal requirement for employers to provide a comfortable working environment for their employees.
As our summers get hotter, air conditioning has become one of the key components of a comfortable working environment.
Many commercial properties in the UK already have air conditioning systems installed. These may be older systems, which are now less efficient and more prone to breaking down.
They can be costly to run, and with high energy prices, the bills can soon mount up.
Whether it’s worth fixing a failing air conditioning system or replacing it will depend on a number of factors, including its age.
The lifespan of your AC system will depend on how it’s used, how regularly it’s maintained and serviced, as well as the type of system you have installed.
On average, a well-maintained commercial AC unit should last between 10 to 20 years.
Systems in heavy use, operating in harsh conditions such as industrial settings, or which aren’t properly maintained may need replacing sooner.
Regular maintenance, such as cleaning filters, servicing refrigerant levels, as well as attending to any issues promptly, can help to extend the life of your AC unit.
Being able to recognise the early warning signs of AC failure can help you avoid costly breakdowns and extended downtime.
Some of the key indicators that an AC system needs repairing include:
If some areas of the building are too hot or too cold, there may be issues with the refrigerant levels, ductwork, or thermostat.
Grinding, banging, or hissing noises coming from your AC could indicate mechanical problems or refrigerant leaks.
If your energy costs suddenly increase without a ready explanation, then it might suggest that your AC system is working less efficiently than it should.
Is it worth repairing an air conditioner that regularly develops problems, or should you consider replacing it?
Here’s what to consider:
If your AC is less than 10 years old, then repairs will generally be the more cost-effective solution.
If the cost of repairs is more than 50 per cent of the price of a new unit, then replacement will usually be the better option. This is particularly true for older units.
Newer systems are more energy efficient and environmentally friendly than older units. This means that replacing one system with a modern one of a similar size and layout is likely to reduce your bills.
If your system is being maintained and serviced but is still breaking down frequently, then it’s likely to be disruptive to your business. A new system can offer improved performance, quieter operation, and fewer maintenance issues.
Keeping your air conditioning system functioning efficiently for longer requires regular servicing and repairs.
