Air Conditioner Installation & Repair in Kobuleti
About 25 km from Batumi
Yes — Imia covers Kobuleti regularly. It is about 25 km up the coast from Batumi, roughly a 30-minute drive, and it is the second-busiest place we work after Batumi itself. Installation starts from 140 GEL, on-site diagnostics from 60 GEL and a wall-unit deep clean is 130–150 GEL, with the same 12-month workmanship warranty as any Batumi job.
What the work in Kobuleti is actually like
Kobuleti splits neatly into two kinds of job. The first is the Soviet-era sanatorium and apartment stock set back from the boulevard: thick walls, no lift in many blocks, and pipe routes that were never planned for air conditioning, so the outdoor unit often has to go somewhere awkward and the refrigerant line takes an indirect path. Those installs need a proper survey before a price makes sense — which is why the pipe and drainage preparation stage, from 80 GEL, matters more here than in a new build.
The second is the newer beachfront apart-hotel stock, where the building went up fast and the AC was fitted as an afterthought. The recurring faults there are drainage that was run with barely any fall, so it backs up in the first humid week of June, and outdoor units mounted where nobody thought about servicing them later. Both are fixable; both are cheaper to fix than to keep living with.
Seasonal work — book before June, not during it
Kobuleti is a resort town, so the demand curve is brutal. A large share of the units here sit unused from October to May, then get switched on in the same fortnight — and that is when the year of accumulated damp inside the drum and drain pan announces itself as a smell, weak airflow or water on the floor. If you own or manage a guesthouse or a short-let apartment here, the cheap version of this is a deep clean in April or May; the expensive version is an emergency call-out in July.
For owners with several units — a guesthouse, a block of short-lets — it is worth booking them as one visit. One trip covers the lot and works out cheaper per unit than calling separately, and you get a straight answer on which units are fine, which need a clean and which are quietly losing refrigerant and will fail mid-season.
Prices and how a Kobuleti visit works
The prices in Kobuleti are the Batumi prices — nothing is added for the distance. Standard wall-mounted installation runs from 140 GEL for a 7,000 BTU unit up to 250 GEL for 24,000 BTU, replacing an old unit is a fixed 80 or 100 GEL by room size, a deep clean is 130 or 150 GEL, on-site diagnostics is from 60 GEL and refrigerant is 15 GEL per 100 grams. Commercial systems — cassette, ducted, column, VRF — start at 350–650 GEL depending on type.
Tell us the address, what the job is and, for a repair, the model number and the symptom. You get a fixed price before anything is touched: on the phone where the job allows it, on site for installations where the wall, the pipe run and the access decide the figure. Same-week appointments are normally available, and it is worth calling early in the season rather than in the July rush.

Questions about Kobuleti
Do you charge extra to travel to Kobuleti?
No. Kobuleti is priced exactly like Batumi — installation from 140 GEL, diagnostics from 60 GEL, a deep clean 130–150 GEL. The 25 km drive is not billed separately. What does change a price is the job itself: a long pipe run, concealed pipework, a difficult wall or a high floor, all confirmed before work starts.
Can you service several units in one guesthouse visit?
Yes, and in Kobuleti it is the sensible way to do it. A single visit covering every unit in a guesthouse or apartment block is quoted as one job and works out cheaper per unit than separate call-outs. You get a per-unit verdict at the end: fine, needs a clean, or losing refrigerant and due a repair before the season.
