Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Aviemore
Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus. For a kitchen-diner in Aviemore, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
In Aviemore, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. We cover Aviemore as part of the Highlands, roughly 25 miles from Inverness. Postcode districts we cover here include PH22.

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
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. Surveys in Aviemore cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
