Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Kirkcaldy
In Kirkcaldy, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
For a kitchen-diner in Kirkcaldy, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. We cover Kirkcaldy as part of Fife, roughly 12 miles from Dunfermline. That includes the KY1 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.
