Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Selkirk
Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows. Design-led units suit Selkirk homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view.
For Selkirk houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Our Scottish Borders coverage takes in Selkirk, about 5 miles from Galashiels. Homes in TD7 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Selkirk
Our Central and Southern Scotland guide price for design-led air conditioning is £1,695–£3,345 per room, VAT included. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Central and Southern Scotland tend to be. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. For reference, the Flat-fronted option in Selkirk (flat panel unit in white, black or silver for a living room) usually comes to about £2,045–£2,695.

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

On a survey in Selkirk 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.
