Multi-split air conditioning across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
In a house in Paisley with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear. Twin and triple systems suit Paisley homes where bedrooms sit above the kitchen and one rear wall can take the outdoor unit. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.

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.
