Floor console air conditioning in Kirkwall
In the Highlands, Islands and the North East of Scotland, systems are sized for cold winter days first. If your home in Kirkwall is bay-fronted or period, a console often suits it better than a high wall unit.
Where a room in Kirkwall has deep cornicing or a picture rail, a console keeps the walls above it clear. Kirkwall is part of our Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles coverage. Coverage includes KW15.

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
Where travel is involved, we agree the survey arrangements and any travel cost up front. On the day, the engineer measures the rooms, checks the electrics and agrees the outdoor unit position with you. In Kirkwall we often start with photos, room measurements and the make of any existing system, so the survey visit is focused and any travel cost can be quoted in writing first.
