Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes across Argyll and Bute
Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Oban can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. If you let a holiday home or annexe near Oban, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought.

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
