Kazimierz and the centre versus the blocks in Ruczaj
In the tenement houses of the centre and Kazimierz, an outdoor unit on the front facade is a matter for the residents' association, and sometimes for the heritage conservator too. That's why it more often goes on the courtyard side or on a balcony. The thick walls play their part as well: drilling through for the refrigerant pipes takes longer than in a block of flats. Before you post the order, ask the building manager about the rules and write in the description what you agreed.
In Ruczaj and Bronowice many flats are bought in developer condition, and that's the easiest moment to install air conditioning. The pipes and condensate drain can be hidden in the wall before painting instead of running them in trunking later. Owners of flats for students and tourists, meanwhile, order cleaning before the season so the unit doesn't smell musty for the next guests.

Questions about air conditioning installation in Kraków
Do I need permission for an outdoor unit on a tenement facade?
Usually yes, because the facade is a shared part of the building. The residents' association or the building manager decides, and in a heritage protection zone the conservator has a say too. The pro will install the unit, but the flat owner handles the paperwork, and it's better to do that before posting the order.
How much does air conditioning installation cost in Kraków?
The price ranges on the site are calculated for Warsaw, so in Kraków treat them as a guide. The pro gives the amount in the offer and decides whether to include travel or list it separately. The app doesn't accept orders under 300 zł.
I bought the air conditioner myself. Will the pro install it?
Yes. Put the model in the order or add a photo of the box with the label. Pipes, cable and the bracket are materials you pay for separately, so ask in the chat whether the pro will bring them.
I have several flats to let. Can I order a service for all of them at once?
Add each address as a separate order and mention in the description that it's about several flats. The pro who did each service issues the invoice for it.
