AC Installation in Delhi
The recurring Delhi complication is that older flats have nowhere to put the outdoor unit with proper clearance, and no dedicated 16A point to run the indoor one. Both need resolving before the unit goes on the wall — we assess for them rather than installing and leaving you with an AC that underperforms from day one.

Why Delhi is different
Plumbing work in Delhi
Scheduled supply into flat-level or society storage means Delhi homes depend heavily on tanks, float valves and pumps. In the older colonies, galvanised supply pipe scaled internally is the usual cause of long-term pressure decline, and in subdivided kothis and builder floors, inter-floor seepage from an added bathroom is far more common than a pipe failing in your own wall.
A badly installed air conditioner does not fail on day one — it underperforms for years. The three things that decide it are the copper run and its insulation, the drain gradient, and whether the system was vacuumed before the gas was released. All three are invisible once the unit is on the wall, which is precisely why they get skipped. Our technicians do them and tell you they have.
Common problems
AC Installation faults we see most in Delhi
Each one written the way a customer describes it, with the cause behind it.
“A newly installed AC cools poorly from the start”
Usually because: Most often the system was never vacuumed — air and moisture left inside the lines badly degrade performance and shorten compressor life.
What we do: System is recovered, evacuated properly and recharged to the manufacturer's specified weight.
“The indoor unit drips down the wall after a new install”
Usually because: Drain line laid flat or uphill, or an indoor unit mounted slightly off level.
What we do: Unit is re-levelled and the drain re-run with a continuous fall to the outlet.
“The outdoor unit is loud and the AC struggles in the afternoon”
Usually because: Insufficient clearance around the condenser — boxed into an enclosed balcony or set too close to a wall, so it recirculates its own hot air.
What we do: Unit is repositioned or the enclosure opened up; we flag this at assessment rather than after installing.
What the booking includes
- Site assessment for indoor and outdoor placement, including condenser clearance
- Core drilling for the pipe run
- Copper piping, flaring and insulation
- Drain line with a correct fall, so it drains rather than drips
- Vacuuming the system before releasing the charge
- Outdoor unit mounted on brackets or a stand, levelled
- Electrical connection check and a cooling test on completion
What it does not cover
Listed so nothing appears on the bill that was not discussed up front.
- The air conditioner itself
- Copper piping beyond the standard run, charged per foot
- A dedicated 16A circuit if one does not exist (booked as electrical Wiring)
- Scaffolding, rope access or crane hire for difficult outdoor placements
Pricing
AC Installation charges in Delhi
Indicative Delhi rates for a normal job.
| Job | Indicative price |
|---|---|
| Split AC installation (standard 3 ft copper run) | ₹1,200 – ₹2,000per unit |
| Window AC installation | ₹600 – ₹1,100per unit |
| Additional copper piping, insulated | ₹350 – ₹600per foot |
| Core drilling through concrete | ₹300 – ₹600per hole |
| Outdoor stand / bracket fitting | ₹400 – ₹900 |
| Cassette / ducted AC installation | ₹3,500 – ₹8,000per unit |
These are indicative ranges for typical jobs, not quotes. You see the actual price for your job before you confirm the booking. A visiting charge of ₹99–₹149 applies where an inspection is needed, and it is adjusted against your final bill. Materials are billed separately and itemised on your digital invoice. Delhi is our baseline: figures on this page are the unadjusted NCR rates. Travel between neighbourhoods is short, most housing is directly accessible, and society entry is rarely a delay. Where a Delhi job does cost more, it is scope rather than location — older wiring and galvanised pipe take longer to work on than modern equivalents.

Before we arrive
A few things that make the visit faster
- Decide indoor and outdoor positions before the visit, and check the outdoor spot has breathing room
- Confirm there is a 16A point near the indoor unit — many older NCR flats do not have one
- In a society, check whether outdoor-unit placement needs maintenance approval; many NCR towers restrict facade mounting

FAQs
AC Installation in Delhi — common questions
Do I need a separate circuit for my AC?
Yes, for any split AC of 1 ton or above. It needs a 16A point on 4 sq mm cable running back to its own way at the distribution board. Running an AC off a 6A lighting point or an extension board is one of the most common serious hazards we find in NCR homes — it heats the cable inside the wall where you cannot see it. If your flat does not have a dedicated point, we can add one as electrical work in the same visit.
What is vacuuming and why does it matter?
Before the refrigerant is released into a newly connected system, the air and moisture inside the pipework must be pumped out. Moisture inside a refrigerant loop causes acid formation and eventual compressor damage, and air raises head pressure so the unit cools worse and costs more to run. It takes fifteen to twenty minutes and it is the most commonly skipped step in Indian AC installation, because nobody can tell by looking.
Can you install an AC in a society tower?
Yes, and it is most of what we do in Gurugram, Noida and Ghaziabad. Two things matter: many societies restrict where an outdoor unit may be mounted on the facade, and core drilling usually needs prior maintenance clearance. A scheduled slot with that clearance already arranged completes in one visit; an urgent booking without it frequently does not.
