Multi-split air conditioning in Rothesay
Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought. In a house in Rothesay with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear.
Twin and triple systems suit Rothesay homes where bedrooms sit above the kitchen and one rear wall can take the outdoor unit. We cover Rothesay as part of Argyll and Bute. Homes in PA20 are all within our coverage.

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
In Scotland, planning conditions for outdoor units depend on the property type and location; conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care.
