Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Edinburgh
Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows. Top-floor flats in Edinburgh feel the heat most, because the roof sits right above the bedroom.
For bedrooms in Edinburgh, we place the outdoor unit at the back of the house, away from neighbours' windows. Edinburgh is one of the main towns we cover in Edinburgh and the Lothians, alongside Livingston and Musselburgh. Postcode districts we cover here include EH1, EH2, EH3, EH5, EH6 and 3 more.

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
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.
The survey
A survey in Edinburgh usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. On a survey in Edinburgh the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
