Home gym and media room air conditioning in Edinburgh
Basement and garage rooms in Edinburgh usually need a quick check of the supply and the drainage route before quoting. Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around.

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
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. We book surveys in Edinburgh at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
