New build and renovation air conditioning in Aberdeen
First-fix pipework in Aberdeen extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Here, heat pumps are sized for low winter temperatures and exposed sites.
Renovations in Aberdeen are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. As well as Aberdeen itself, our Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire coverage takes in Peterhead, Banchory and the towns around them. Coverage includes AB10, AB11, AB12, AB13, AB15 and 3 more.
Prices in Aberdeen
Budget around £350–£795 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT for air conditioning for new builds and renovations in and around Aberdeen. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland tend to be. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. As an example, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) would typically be £1,295–£2,645 here.

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%.
Working with your builder
First-fix work is about coordination, while the outdoor unit follows the normal planning rules for the property.
The survey
On a survey in Aberdeen the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
