New build and renovation air conditioning across Dumfries and Galloway
First-fix pipework in Dumfries extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. For new Dumfries extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows.
