Ducted air conditioning in Glasgow
Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells. In an older house in Glasgow, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work.
Ducted systems suit Glasgow loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. As well as Glasgow itself, our Glasgow and Dunbartonshire coverage takes in Bearsden, Clydebank and the towns around them. We cover G1, G2, G3, G4, G5 and 3 more and the streets around them.
Prices in Glasgow
For Glasgow, expect roughly £4,995 to £13,745 per system, VAT included, adjusted for typical Central and Southern Scotland rates. Labour rates in Central and Southern Scotland keep this slightly under the national middle. 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 Zoned option (motorised dampers or two units for separate floors or room groups) would typically be £6,845–£10,045 here.

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.
