Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Livingston
Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells. An extension in Livingston with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon.
In Livingston, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Livingston lies roughly 13 miles from Edinburgh, and we cover it as part of Edinburgh and the Lothians. Coverage includes EH54.
