New build and renovation air conditioning in Kilmarnock
Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows. Renovations in Kilmarnock are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster.
First-fix pipework in Kilmarnock extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. We cover Kilmarnock and the rest of Ayrshire, including Ayr and Irvine. That includes the KA3 postcode district.

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
A survey in Kilmarnock usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
