Multi-split air conditioning in Oban
In a house in Oban with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear. Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus.
Twin and triple systems suit Oban homes where bedrooms sit above the kitchen and one rear wall can take the outdoor unit. We cover Oban and the rest of Argyll and Bute, including Campbeltown and Dunoon. That includes the PA34 postcode district.

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 Oban 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.
