Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Oban
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.
For bedrooms in Oban, we place the outdoor unit at the back of the house, away from neighbours' windows. Oban is one of the main towns we cover in Argyll and Bute, alongside Campbeltown and Dunoon. Homes in PA34 are all within our coverage.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
Outdoor units on Scottish homes can often be installed without a planning application, but the conditions differ from England's, so we confirm the rules for your property at survey.
The survey
In Oban we often start with photos, room measurements and the make of any existing system, so the survey visit is focused and any travel cost can be quoted in writing first. Where travel is involved, we agree the survey arrangements and any travel cost up front. On the day, the engineer measures the rooms, checks the electrics and agrees the outdoor unit position with you.
