Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners across Argyll and Bute
In Oban, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. For a kitchen-diner in Oban, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought.

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.

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.
