FAQ
Patna aircon installer pricing questions, answered
Common questions about aircon installer pricing in Patna, with answers framed for tradies pricing their own work.
Rs.290-Rs.540/hour for licensed work in standard Patna, Rs.480-Rs.880+/hour for Boring Road, Patliputra Colony, Rajendra Nagar, Kankarbagh, SK Puri. Per-system install: split AC Rs.32,000-Rs.95,000; VRV/VRF Rs.4,50,000-Rs.28,00,000; central chiller Rs.45,00,000+; window AC Rs.22,000-Rs.42,000. State PMC trade licence, BIS-marked brand, BEE 5-star, GST 18%.
Yes, both. PMC trade license required for AC contractors. F-Gas (HFC/HCFC/HFO refrigerant handling) certification required for AC install and service. State PMC trade licence number, GSTIN, HSN/SAC 998719, BIS-marked AC brand, and F-Gas certification on every quote and tax invoice.
Rs.32,000-Rs.95,000 per home for 1-2 ton split AC depending on tonnage (1, 1.5, 2 ton typical), BEE rating (3-5 star), and inverter vs fixed-speed. Quote separately: outdoor condenser, indoor unit, copper piping, drainage, electrical (dedicated MCB + ELCB), commissioning, F-Gas refrigerant charge. GST 18%.
Yes, on every premium install. Patna Gangetic inversion air pollution (Nov-Feb, among India's worst) drives demand for whole-home filtration (MERV 13+, HEPA) and AC-integrated air purifier (Dyson Pure, Philips AC, Mi Air Purifier, Sharp). Quote AC-integrated purifier (Rs.18,500-Rs.85,000 per unit) and whole-home HEPA filtration (Rs.85,000-Rs.4,50,000 per home).
Rs.4,50,000-Rs.28,00,000 per system for VRV/VRF multi-split with smart thermostats (Daikin VRV, Mitsubishi City Multi, LG Multi V). Premium brands preferred at Boring Road, Patliputra Colony, Rajendra Nagar, Kankarbagh, SK Puri. State BEE 5-star, BIS-marked, and IDU-ODU spec on every quote. GST 18%.
Wall-split installations run roughly ₹10,500-500 per kW installed. A 5kW unit fully installed is ₹62,000-3,200; a 12kW multi-head system is ₹1,72,000-9,000. Ducted systems run ₹24,000-1,200 per kW because of the ducting work.
Heat-load rule of thumb: 0.15kW per square metre in moderate climates, 0.20kW in hot climates. A 25sqm bedroom needs 4-5kW; a 50sqm open-plan needs 7-9kW. Over-sized units short-cycle and waste energy; under-sized never cool the room. Insist on a heat-load calc for any install over ₹1,03,000.
For installs over ₹69,000, get 2-3 quotes. Compare brand, capacity, warranty, refrigerant type, and install detail. The cheapest quote often uses budget brands with 3-year warranties vs branded units with 5-7 year warranties for 10-20% more.
Wall splits are individual units, cheaper, easier to install, each room independent. Ducted is one outdoor unit with hidden roof-space ducting to all rooms, more expensive but cleaner aesthetic and centralised control. Wall splits cost half what ducted does for the same total kW.
A standard 5kW wall-split install is 4-6 hours for a 2-person team. Multi-head and ducted systems take 2-3 days. Larger commercial or ceiling-cassette installs take 4-5 days.
