Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Oban
In the Highlands, Islands and the North East of Scotland, systems are sized for cold winter days first. Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Oban can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first.
For Oban landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. As well as Oban itself, our Argyll and Bute coverage takes in Campbeltown, Dunoon and the towns around them. Postcode districts we cover here include PA34.
Prices in Oban
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. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. For reference, the Two rooms option in Oban (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) usually comes to about £2,095–£3,245. Travel, ferry or accommodation costs for Oban are not in these figures. They are quoted to you as a fixed amount in writing before you book.

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
In Scotland, planning conditions for outdoor units depend on the property type and location; conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care.
The survey
Where travel is involved, we agree the survey arrangements and any travel cost up front. On the day, the engineer measures the rooms, checks the electrics and agrees the outdoor unit position with you. In Oban we often start with photos, room measurements and the make of any existing system, so the survey visit is focused and any travel cost can be quoted in writing first.
