Home air conditioning in Lerwick
Here, heat pumps are sized for low winter temperatures and exposed sites. Lerwick is part of our Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles coverage. Coverage includes ZE1.
Rooms and systems
Units over fifteen years old in Lerwick homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. Fault codes on Lerwick systems are read on the first visit, so the repair is quoted against the real cause. For self-builds and extensions in Lerwick, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Conservatories and orangeries in Lerwick can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January.
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. 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.

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 Lerwick, 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.
