New build and renovation air conditioning in Arbroath
For new Arbroath extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
Renovations in Arbroath are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Our Angus and Dundee coverage takes in Arbroath, about 16 miles from Dundee. We cover DD11 and the streets around them.

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.
