Floor console air conditioning in Galashiels
If your home in Galashiels is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit. Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells.
Where a room in Galashiels has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. As well as Galashiels itself, our Scottish Borders coverage takes in Eyemouth, Hawick and the towns around them. Coverage includes TD1.

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
Scotland has its own permitted development rules for heat pumps and outdoor units, with stricter treatment of listed buildings and conservation areas. We check the current position for your property with you and, if needed, with the council.
The survey
A survey in Galashiels usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. Surveys in Galashiels cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
