Home gym and media room air conditioning in Galashiels

Basement and garage rooms in Galashiels usually need a quick check of the supply and the drainage route before quoting. Galashiels is one of the main towns we cover in the Scottish Borders, alongside Eyemouth and Hawick. That includes the TD1 postcode district.

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.
