Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Montrose

If you let a holiday home or annexe near Montrose, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. Montrose sits around 26 miles from Dundee, inside our Angus and Dundee area. That includes the DD10 postcode district.
Prices in Montrose
In Central and Southern Scotland, our guide range for air conditioning for landlords and rental homes is £1,045–£5,445 per property, one room to the whole let, including VAT.

Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range.

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
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
On a survey in Montrose the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
