Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Lerwick

Air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners in Lerwick

For a kitchen-diner in Lerwick, we place the indoor unit clear of the hob and plan the outdoor unit at the rear. Here, heat pumps are sized for low winter temperatures and exposed sites.

An extension in Lerwick with a roof lantern or large glazed doors can overheat quickly on a sunny afternoon. We cover Lerwick as part of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. That includes the ZE1 postcode district.

Prices in Lerwick

In the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland, our guide range for air conditioning for extensions and kitchen-diners is £1,295–£3,945 per space, including VAT. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. On our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland figures, the Large single option (one 5–7 kW unit for a large glazed space) is about £1,795–£2,545. These figures exclude travel to Lerwick. Any travel, ferry or accommodation cost is quoted separately, in writing, before anything is booked.

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

Where travel is involved, we agree the survey arrangements and any travel cost up front. On the day, the engineer measures the rooms, checks the electrics and agrees the outdoor unit position with you. In Lerwick 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.
