AC Servicing & Installation Prices in Nigeria (2026 Guide)
By NaijaArtisans Editorial Team · 5 min read · Updated June 2026
In Nigeria's heat, a working air conditioner isn't a luxury — it's survival. But AC work is also where a lot of customers get overcharged or get a 'repair' that fails a week later. Here's what fair prices look like in 2026 and how to hire a technician who actually knows what they're doing.
Typical AC prices in 2026
| Servicing (split unit) | ₦6,000 – ₦12,000 |
| Gas refill (R22 / R410) | ₦8,000 – ₦25,000 |
| Installation (split unit) | ₦15,000 – ₦40,000 |
| Compressor replacement | ₦40,000 – ₦120,000 |
| Uninstall & reinstall (moving house) | ₦12,000 – ₦30,000 |
How to spot a real AC technician
- They check the gas pressure with a gauge, not by guessing.
- They explain the actual fault instead of just saying 'it needs gas'.
- They clean the filters and coils during a service, not just spray water.
- They offer a short guarantee on the work.
💡 If a technician says your AC 'needs gas' every few weeks, the real problem is usually a leak — refilling gas repeatedly is money wasted. Insist they find and fix the leak.
Before you pay
Ask for the full price including gas and call-out, confirm what guarantee you get, and never pay in full before the unit is tested and cooling properly. On NaijaArtisans you can compare AC technicians near you by their reviews and prices before booking.
