Ducted air conditioning across Perth and Kinross
For a renovation in Perth, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. Ducted systems suit Perth loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows.
