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
Leaseholders in Peebles usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units. In Scotland, flats are treated differently from houses under permitted development, so we confirm the position with the council where needed.
