Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Lerwick
In the Highlands, Islands and the North East of Scotland, systems are sized for cold winter days first. If you let a holiday home or annexe near Lerwick, one system can warm it before guests arrive and cool it in summer.
For Lerwick landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Lerwick is part of our Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles coverage. Coverage includes ZE1.
Prices in Lerwick
Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Lerwick typically comes in at £995–£5,295 per property, one room to the whole let including VAT, based on Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland rates. What moves a quote in Lerwick up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed.

Travel, ferry or accommodation costs for Lerwick 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
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.
The survey
In Lerwick 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. 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.
