Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Peebles
For bedrooms in Peebles, we place the outdoor unit at the back of the house, away from neighbours' windows. Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows.
Top-floor flats in Peebles feel the heat most, because the roof sits right above the bedroom. We cover Peebles as part of the Scottish Borders, roughly 15 miles from Galashiels. Postcode districts we cover here include EH45.

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
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. A survey in Peebles 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.
