An air-conditioning apparatus in which entry of a refrigerant into a living space is suppressed and measures against refrigerant leakage are taken is provided. An air-conditioning apparatus 100 is provided with a heat source device 1 having a compressor that pressurizes a primary refrigerant, a four-way valve 11 that switches a circulation direction of the primary refrigerant, and a heat-source side heat exchanger 12 connected to the four-way valve 11 and installed outside of a building 9 having a plurality of floors or in a space leading to the outside, a relay unit 3 having an intermediate heat exchanger that is disposed in a space not to be air-conditioned different from the space to be air-conditioned on the installed floor separated from the heat source device 1 by plural floors and exchanges heat between the primary refrigerant and a secondary refrigerant and a pump 21 that conveys the secondary refrigerant, an indoor unit 2 having a use-side heat exchanger 26 that exchanges heat between the secondary refrigerant and air in the space to be air-conditioned, a vertical pipeline that connects the heat source device 1 and the relay unit 3 across the plurality of floors, and a horizontal pipeline that connects the relay unit 3 and the indoor unit 2 to each other from outside a wall dividing the space to be air-conditioned to indoors and outdoors and in which the secondary refrigerant in a liquid phase flows through both of pipelines in sets of at least two pipelines.
