Multi-split air conditioning in Stromness
Multi-split is a good fit for Stromness flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available. Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus.
In a house in Stromness with a usable loft, multi-split pipes can often run through it so the front stays clear. We cover Stromness as part of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. Coverage includes KW16.

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 Stromness 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.
