New build and renovation air conditioning in Dundee
First-fix pipework in Dundee extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around.
Renovations in Dundee are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. We cover Dundee and the rest of Angus and Dundee, including Arbroath and Brechin. Coverage includes DD1.
Prices in Dundee
In Central and Southern Scotland, our guide range for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £365–£795 per indoor position (first fix), including VAT. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Central and Southern Scotland labour rates. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) would typically be £1,345–£2,695 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
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.
