Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Aviemore
Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought. Loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms in Aviemore gain heat through the roof all day and give it back at night.
For bedrooms in Aviemore, we place the outdoor unit at the back of the house, away from neighbours' windows. We cover Aviemore as part of the Highlands, roughly 25 miles from Inverness. Postcode districts we cover here include PH22.

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.
