Bedroom and loft air conditioning across Argyll and Bute
Top-floor flats in Oban feel the heat most, because the roof sits right above the bedroom. Loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms in Oban gain heat through the roof all day and give it back at night. Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus.
