Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Vale of Leven
Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells. For Vale of Leven houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished.
In Vale of Leven, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Vale of Leven lies roughly 14 miles from Glasgow, and we cover it as part of Glasgow and Dunbartonshire. Homes in G82 and PA14 are all within our coverage.

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.
