Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Musselburgh
In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating. An extension in Musselburgh with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon.
For a kitchen-diner in Musselburgh, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Musselburgh sits around 6 miles from Edinburgh, inside our Edinburgh and the Lothians area. We cover EH21 and the streets around them.

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
A survey in Musselburgh 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. On a survey in Musselburgh the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
