Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
In Aberdeen, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. An extension in Aberdeen with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus.
