New build and renovation air conditioning in Lochgilphead
Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought. Renovations in Lochgilphead are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster.
For new Lochgilphead extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Lochgilphead lies roughly 26 miles from Oban, and we cover it as part of Argyll and Bute. Homes in PA31 are all within our coverage.

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.
The survey
Where travel is involved, we agree the survey arrangements and any travel cost up front. On the day, the engineer measures the rooms, checks the electrics and agrees the outdoor unit position with you. In Lochgilphead we often start with photos, room measurements and the make of any existing system, so the survey visit is focused and any travel cost can be quoted in writing first.
