Floor console air conditioning in Dumfries
Where a house in Dumfries has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around.
Where a room in Dumfries has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. Dumfries is one of the main towns we cover in Dumfries and Galloway, alongside Annan and Castle Douglas. We cover DG1 and the streets around them.

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
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. We book surveys in Dumfries at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
