Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Rutherglen
Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around. For a kitchen-diner in Rutherglen, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear.
An extension in Rutherglen with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. Our Lanarkshire coverage takes in Rutherglen, about 8 miles from Hamilton. That includes the G73 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.
The survey
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. On a survey in Rutherglen the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
