Air conditioning cost in Albania (2026)
Short answer. A service (clean, check, light vacuum) is often 30–70€. Gas refill 40–90€ if there is no leak. Split install 12–18k BTU: 120–350€ labour plus the unit. Tirana costs more, especially with no lift.

Do not pay for a spring “top-up” without finding the leak — refrigerant does not get used up. Ask if copper, vacuum and a pressure test are in the price, not just the wall brackets.
2026 ranges
| City | Service / clean | Split install (labour) |
|---|---|---|
| Tirana | 40–70€ | 160–350€ |
| Durrës, Vlorë | 35–65€ | 140–300€ |
| Other cities | 30–55€ | 120–280€ |
The unit (often 250–700€) and copper past 3–4m are extra. Some blocks need facade permission — that is not a PunoSot problem.
What changes the price
- Floor and whether a lift exists for the outdoor unit.
- Copper run and concrete drilling.
- R32 vs R410 — do not mix; send the model.
