SERVICE

AC relocation service

Taking your AC with you when you move, or moving it to another room? Willson removes it from the old spot, moves it and reinstalls it in the new one. If the outdoor unit needs to go on an outside wall at the new place, we always take safety measures.

What we do

  • Recover the refrigerant, then remove the indoor and outdoor units
  • Move them to the new place
  • Reinstall and pipe at the new place
  • Outdoor units mounted on outside walls always get safety measures
  • Check installation conditions at both places

What we check before relocating

The AC's own condition

Its age and condition affect whether moving it is worth it. An AC that already has frequent problems will probably still have them after the move.

The new room

Whether the new room's size, afternoon sun and use suit the AC's capacity. See Choosing AC size中文.

Can the old pipes be reused?

Distances differ between the old and new spots, so whether the old pipes need replacing depends on their length and condition on site.

Where the outdoor unit goes

Whether the outdoor unit goes on a balcony, a platform or an outside wall at the new place affects ventilation and safety.

For the usual steps and easily missed details, see Moving house: AC relocation steps and tips中文. If you decide on a new unit instead, we also offer AC & heat-pump sales and installation.

  3. Removal

    Recover the refrigerant, then remove the indoor and outdoor units.

Good to know

  • The cost depends on the number of units, both locations, pipe length and site, so we don't publish prices online — please call us.
  • Contact us early before moving so we can schedule removal and installation around your moving date.
  • If you live in apartment buildings, check both buildings' rules on work hours and outdoor unit positions first.

FAQ

Does the refrigerant have to be recovered before moving an AC?

Yes. Pumping the refrigerant back into the outdoor unit before removal prevents leaks, so the AC works properly once reinstalled.

Is my old AC worth moving, or should I buy new?

Consider the AC's age and condition, and whether its capacity suits the new room. If you're not sure, call 0953 144 721 to talk it over. If you decide on a new one, we also offer AC & heat-pump sales and installation.

Can the existing pipes be reused?

It's decided on site based on the distance at the new place and the pipes' condition. If the pipe length differs or the old pipes are in poor shape, they may need replacing.

Can you move an AC to another room in the same home?

Yes. Moving to another room or changing the outdoor unit position still means removing, re-piping and reinstalling. Call and tell us the current and planned positions.

How much does AC installation or repair cost?

It depends on the model, installation position, pipe length and site, so we don't give prices on the website. Please call 0953 144 721 and we'll explain for your situation.
