Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Wick
Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus. For a kitchen-diner in Wick, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
An extension in Wick with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Wick is about 78 miles from Inverness and falls within our Highland coverage. Homes in KW1 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
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
Surveys in Wick are arranged around travel. We confirm the date and any travel, ferry or accommodation cost in writing before you commit, then the survey covers rooms, pipe routes, electrics and noise as normal. In Wick we often start with photos, room measurements and the make of any existing system, so the survey visit is focused and any travel cost can be quoted in writing first.
