New build and renovation air conditioning in Oban
Renovations in Oban are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Here, heat pumps are sized for low winter temperatures and exposed sites.
First-fix pipework in Oban extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. We cover Oban and the rest of Argyll and Bute, including Campbeltown and Dunoon. We cover PA34 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
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.
The survey
Surveys in Oban are arranged around travel. We confirm the date and any travel, ferry or accommodation cost in writing before you commit, then the survey covers rooms, pipe routes, electrics and noise as normal. In Oban 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.
