Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Edinburgh
Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows. In Edinburgh, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit.
For a kitchen-diner in Edinburgh, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Edinburgh is one of the main towns we cover in Edinburgh and the Lothians, alongside Livingston and Musselburgh. We cover EH1, EH2, EH3, EH5, EH6 and 3 more and the streets around them.
Prices in Edinburgh
Our Central and Southern Scotland guide price for air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners is £1,345–£4,095 per space, VAT included. Labour rates in Central and Southern Scotland keep this slightly under the national middle. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. On our Central and Southern Scotland figures, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) is about £1,895–£2,595.
Single unit
One 3.5–5 kW unit for a medium extension.
Large single
One 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space.
Twin units
Two indoor units on a multi-split for long or L-shaped spaces.
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
Scotland has its own permitted development rules for heat pumps and outdoor units, with stricter treatment of listed buildings and conservation areas. We check the current position for your property with you and, if needed, with the council.
The survey
A survey in Edinburgh usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. We book surveys in Edinburgh at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
