Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Dumbarton
Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around. For a kitchen-diner in Dumbarton, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
An extension in Dumbarton with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Dumbarton is about 13 miles from Glasgow and falls within our Glasgow and Dunbartonshire coverage. Homes in G82 are all within our coverage.

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
In Scotland, planning conditions for outdoor units depend on the property type and location; conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
