Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Livingston
In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating. Top-floor flats in Livingston feel the heat most, because the roof sits right above the bedroom.
For bedrooms in Livingston, we place the outdoor unit at the back of the house, away from neighbours' windows. We cover Livingston as part of Edinburgh and the Lothians, roughly 13 miles from Edinburgh. We cover EH54 and the streets around them.

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.
