Renovations in Ellon are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Ellon lies roughly 15 miles from Aberdeen, and we cover it as part of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Postcode districts we cover here include AB41.
Prices in Ellon
In the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland, our guide range for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £350–£795 per indoor position (first fix), including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland tend to be. What moves a quote in Ellon up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed.

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
On build projects the main thing is timing with your builder and electrician; we fit first-fix pipework before plastering and agree the outdoor unit position early.
