Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Galashiels
In Galashiels, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells.
An extension in Galashiels with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. As well as Galashiels itself, our Scottish Borders coverage takes in Eyemouth, Hawick and the towns around them. That includes the TD1 postcode district.
