Conservatory air conditioning across Moray
In Elgin, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. Conservatories and orangeries in Elgin can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January. In the Highlands, Islands and the North East of Scotland, systems are sized for cold winter days first.

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.

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
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. 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.
