Ducted air conditioning in Dundee
For a renovation in Dundee, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
Ducted systems suit Dundee loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Dundee is one of the main towns we cover in Angus and Dundee, alongside Arbroath and Brechin. We cover DD1 and the streets around them.

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.
