More and more Portuguese people are choosing to install air
conditioning systems at home, but this summer the general increase in prices is
putting an even greater pressure on family budgets.
This is because the installation of this equipment reached
increases in the order of 100 euros, compared to prices last year.
Data from Fixando, found that the average price charged for
air conditioning installation services rose from 355 euros in 2021 to 460 euros
(+29.6%) this year. In 2020, the average amount charged was 350 euros.
Maintenance services for this equipment also became more
expensive in 2022, with the average price per service rising from 60 euros, in
2021, to 73 euros (+21.67%).
Fixando also reveals that the number of Portuguese who
sought to install an air conditioning system rose by 57% in June, compared to
the previous month. Already in May, demand had increased by 58%, compared to
April this year.
Alice Nunes, director of New Business at Fixando, estimates
that with the high temperatures that are approaching in the coming days, the
demand for air conditioning services and equipment will register a significant
increase again, in the order of 56%, during the month of July.
