Multi-split air conditioning across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
In a house in Aberdeen with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear. Multi-split is a good fit for Aberdeen flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available. In the Highlands, Islands and the North East of Scotland, systems are sized for cold winter days first.

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%.
