Ducted air conditioning in Perth
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.
For a renovation in Perth, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. As well as Perth itself, our Perth and Kinross coverage takes in Auchterarder, Blairgowrie and the towns around them. Homes in PH1 are all within our coverage.

Guide prices around Perth run from £4,995 to £13,745 per system including VAT. Labour rates in Central and Southern Scotland keep this slightly under the national middle. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. 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
In Scotland, planning conditions for outdoor units depend on the property type and location; conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care.
The survey
We book surveys in Perth at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Perth 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.
