Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Inverness
If you let a holiday home or annexe near Inverness, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer. Here, heat pumps are sized for low winter temperatures and exposed sites.
For Inverness landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. As well as Inverness itself, our Highland coverage takes in Fort William, Alness and the towns around them. Postcode districts we cover here include IV2.
Prices in Inverness
Guide prices around Inverness run from £995 to £5,295 per property, one room to the whole let including VAT. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland labour rates. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. For reference, the Two rooms option in Inverness (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) usually comes to about £2,095–£3,245.
Single room
One wall unit for a bedroom or studio.

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.
