Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Saltcoats
For a kitchen-diner in Saltcoats, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
In Saltcoats, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Saltcoats is about 11 miles from Kilmarnock and falls within our Ayrshire coverage. That includes the KA21 postcode district.

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
Outdoor units on Scottish homes can often be installed without a planning application, but the conditions differ from England's, so we confirm the rules for your property at survey.
The survey
