Home air conditioning in Oban
Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought. We cover Oban and the rest of Argyll and Bute, including Campbeltown and Dunoon. That includes the PA34 postcode district.
Rooms and systems
Where a room in Oban has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. If an older system in your Oban home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. A yearly service plan saves Oban households from having to remember when the system was last looked at. Spring is the best time to book a service in Oban, before the first warm spell.
Many homes start with one or two rooms. A system can be designed so that more rooms are added later without replacing the outdoor unit. Existing systems need care too: an annual service, an occasional deep clean and prompt repairs keep them efficient and quiet.

Planning and permissions
Scotland has its own permitted development rules for heat pumps and outdoor units, with stricter treatment of listed buildings and conservation areas. We check the current position for your property with you and, if needed, with the council. For flats in Oban, the lease and the freeholder's consent come first. Planning rules for blocks of flats are stricter than for houses, and we check them before quoting.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales only. Scotland has its own support through Home Energy Scotland, so check their current rules for air-to-air systems before planning around a grant.
