Prices in Renfrew
Budget around £1,045–£5,445 per property, one room to the whole let including VAT for air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in and around Renfrew. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Central and Southern 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. As an example, the Two rooms option (two rooms on separate systems or a twin multi-split) would typically be £2,145–£3,345 here.
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
Scotland has its own permitted development rules for heat pumps and outdoor units, with stricter treatment of listed buildings and conservation areas. We check the current position for your property with you and, if needed, with the council.
