Floor console air conditioning in Kelso
Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells. If your home in Kelso is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit.
Where a house in Kelso has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Kelso sits around 15 miles from Galashiels, inside our Scottish Borders area. Postcode districts we cover here include TD5.

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
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. 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.
