New build and renovation air conditioning across Angus and Dundee
First-fix pipework in Dundee extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. For new Dundee extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows.
Prices in Angus and Dundee
Our Central and Southern Scotland guide price for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £365–£795 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Central and Southern 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. Typical First and second fix work (complete install priced per room including units) lands around £1,345–£2,695 in this area.

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
Because the pipework is built into the structure, coordination with your builder matters more than planning here; the outdoor unit follows the same rules as any other installation.
