Local cost considerations

Altbau buildings with high ceilings need larger capacity per room, and courtyard-only condenser placement can add to labour costs. Get written quotes for an accurate price.

Property-specific advice

  • •In a Wohnungseigentümergemeinschaft (WEG), outdoor units on façades or balconies usually need owners' approval.
  • •Tenants need the landlord's consent; noise limits for outdoor units (TA Lärm) should be discussed with the installer.
  • •Dachgeschoss (attic) flats commonly benefit most from cooling.

Cologne air conditioning FAQs

Can an outdoor unit go on a Cologne Altbau façade?

Rarely on the street side. Most installations place the condenser in the rear courtyard or on a flat roof, subject to the owners' association and any Denkmalschutz conditions.

How much capacity does a high-ceilinged Altbau room need?

Rooms with 3.5 metre ceilings need roughly 20 to 30 per cent more cooling capacity than a modern equivalent, so a proper room-by-room calculation is essential before quoting.
