New build and renovation air conditioning across Ayrshire
For new Kilmarnock extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. First-fix pipework in Kilmarnock 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.

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.
