New build and renovation air conditioning in Rothesay
Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus. For new Rothesay extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings.
First-fix pipework in Rothesay extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Rothesay is part of our Argyll and Bute coverage. We cover PA20 and the streets around them.
Prices in Rothesay
Our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland guide price for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £350–£795 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included.

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
First-fix work is about coordination, while the outdoor unit follows the normal planning rules for the property.
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 Rothesay 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.
