Before you buy a split air conditioner, the question that occupies your mind is: How much will the installation cost? This guide contains the actual approved prices in the Czech Republic for 2026, and the factors that determine which package you need.
Split AC installation prices in Czech Republic
- Split AC installation without extensions: 140 riyals
- Split AC installation with piping + 5 meters of copper: 400 riyals
These are installation prices only and do not include the cost of the device. The price will be shown to you before order confirmation—no surprises after the technician arrives.
Which of the two packages do you need?
No extension — 140 riyals
Suitable if the location is already prepared: the copper wiring is in place, the electrical outlet is ready, and the wall opening is drilled. This is a common situation when replacing an old air conditioner with a new one in the same location.
With extension + 5 meters of copper — 400 riyals
The required option for a new installation. Includes copper wiring extension, insulation, and complete connection. Choose this package if the location is completely new or the distance between the two units is significant.
What might add cost?
The length of the copper wire is over 5 meters
The package covers five meters. Longer distances require additional copper and an additional Freon charge.
wall type
A regular wall is within the service range. Reinforced concrete or stone requires more powerful equipment and more time.
Access difficulty
Installing the outdoor unit on a high floor or in a difficult location may require scaffolding or safety ropes.
electrical connection
If there is no dedicated outlet nearby, you need to extend a line and install a separate circuit breaker — this is a separate electrical service.
Nighttime composition
Orders placed outside of working hours incur an additional fee, which will be displayed in the app before confirmation.
Note for coastal cities
In Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, Yanbu, and Jazan, choose a galvanized bracket for the outdoor unit exclusively. A standard bracket will rust within a single season due to humidity and salinity, and the cost of replacing it later will be higher than the current price difference.
5 mistakes that cost you more
- Choosing the cheapest option without a guarantee: Incorrect installation causes Freon leakage within months, and the repair is more expensive than the difference.
- Over-draining the pump line: Air and moisture inside the circuit shorten the compressor's lifespan.
- Failure to specify what the price includes: Find out beforehand if the copper and stand are included.
- Milan ignored the water drainage: the number one reason for air conditioner dripping after installation
- Do not test the cooling in front of you: Ask the technician to turn on the machine and measure the temperature difference before he leaves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does installation take?
Normal installation takes two to four hours. Concealed air conditioners require more time.
Does installation void the manufacturer's warranty?
Incorrect installation may void the warranty. Keep the installation invoice and the contact information for the authorized technician.
What is the best time for installation?
Autumn and winter — demand is lower and appointments are faster than the peak summer season.
Do I need to recharge Freon?
The new air conditioner comes charged for a specific distance. If the line exceeds this distance, it needs an additional charge.
Summary
First, determine whether the location is already equipped or requires extension—this alone will determine the package and price. The difference between a good installation and a bad one doesn't appear on day one, but rather after six months in your electricity bill and the lifespan of the device.
