Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Inverness
In the Highlands, Islands and the North East of Scotland, systems are sized for cold winter days first. An extension in Inverness with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon.
For a kitchen-diner in Inverness, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Inverness is one of the main towns we cover in the Highlands, alongside Fort William and Alness. Coverage includes IV2.
Prices in Inverness
For Inverness, expect roughly £1,295 to £3,945 per space, VAT included, adjusted for typical Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland rates. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland labour rates. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. As an example, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) would typically be £1,795–£2,545 here.
Single unit
One 3.5–5 kW unit for a medium extension.
Large single
One 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space.
Twin units
Two indoor units on a multi-split for long or L-shaped spaces.
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.
