Home air conditioning in Kelso
Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around. Our Scottish Borders coverage takes in Kelso, about 15 miles from Galashiels. Coverage includes TD5.
Rooms and systems
For period homes in Kelso, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. We size every heat pump in Kelso for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. In an older house in Kelso, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. In Kelso, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box.
Flats, listed homes and garden rooms each bring their own questions, from freeholder consent to cable routes, and we cover them at survey. If heating matters as much as cooling, an air-to-air heat pump sized for winter can replace old electric heaters room by room, and still cool in summer.

On our Central and Southern Scotland figures, a repair is typically £140–£1,145, a multi-split £2,245–£7,145 for 2–4 rooms, and an air-to-air heat pump system £2,695–£10,545 for 2–5 rooms, all including VAT. Installations are fixed in writing after a free survey; visits are priced before we come.
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. Leaseholders in Kelso usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units.
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.
