Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Aberdeen
For Aberdeen landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought.
If you let a holiday home or annexe near Aberdeen, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. Aberdeen is one of the main towns we cover in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, alongside Peterhead and Banchory. Coverage includes AB10, AB11, AB12, AB13, AB15 and 3 more.
Prices in Aberdeen
Our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland guide price for air conditioning for landlords and rental homes is £995–£5,295 per property, one room to the whole let, VAT included. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland tend to be. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. On our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland figures, the Two rooms option (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) is about £2,095–£3,245.
Single room
One wall unit for a bedroom or studio.
Two rooms
Two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split.
Whole let
Three or four rooms, with a service plan.
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
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. A survey in Aberdeen 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.
