Floor console air conditioning in Edinburgh
Where a house in Edinburgh has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells.
If your home in Edinburgh is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. We cover Edinburgh and the rest of Edinburgh and the Lothians, including Livingston and Musselburgh. Coverage includes EH1, EH2, EH3, EH5, EH6 and 3 more.
Prices in Edinburgh
In Central and Southern Scotland, our guide range for floor console air conditioning is £1,245–£2,695 per room, including VAT. Labour rates in Central and Southern Scotland keep this slightly under the national middle. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. For reference, the Popular option in Edinburgh (quieter console with Wi-Fi control for a living room) usually comes to about £1,595–£2,145.

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.
