Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
For Paisley landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Paisley can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%.

If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
