Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Wick
Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus. For Wick houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished.
In Wick, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Wick is about 78 miles from Inverness and falls within our Highland coverage. We cover KW1 and the streets around them.
Prices in Wick
For Wick, expect roughly £1,645 to £3,245 per room, VAT included, adjusted for typical Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland rates. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the Flat-fronted option (flat panel unit in white, black or silver for a living room) would typically be £1,995–£2,645 here. These figures exclude travel to Wick. Any travel, ferry or accommodation cost is quoted separately, in writing, before anything is booked.

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
Where travel is involved, we agree the survey arrangements and any travel cost up front. On the day, the engineer measures the rooms, checks the electrics and agrees the outdoor unit position with you. In Wick we often start with photos, room measurements and the make of any existing system, so the survey visit is focused and any travel cost can be quoted in writing first.
