Based on the above facts.My view is that your client will fall under works contract service. as it involves both material and labour charges.

Since the client charges for bot material and labour together. He would be entitled to abatement of 30% that is 70% of total amount charged would be chargeable to service tax, based on rule 2A of Service Tax Valuation rules. as amended vide Notification No 24/2012

However if he is within Basic Exemption Limit there would not be any service tax.

04 July 2013 Intermediate production process in relation to goods on which excise duty is payable by the principle manufacturer is exempt from service tax, notf. no. 25/2012 S.T. Air Conditioners definitely are excisable products.

Things are not so clear in ur query. Whether ur client is selling his own ACs or is working for the one who sends him readymade ducting.
