Conservatory air conditioning in Edinburgh
In Edinburgh, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells.
If your conservatory in Edinburgh faces south, that is where overheating is worst. As well as Edinburgh itself, our Edinburgh and the Lothians coverage takes in Livingston, Musselburgh and the towns around them. Homes in EH1, EH2, EH3, EH5, EH6 and 3 more 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
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
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. 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.
