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%.
Consent and planning for flats
Flats need more care: get your freeholder's written consent first, and expect the planning rules for a block of flats in East Kilbride to be stricter than for a house. In Scotland, flats are treated differently from houses under permitted development, so we confirm the position with the council where needed.
The survey
On a survey in East Kilbride 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. Surveys in East Kilbride cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
