New build and renovation air conditioning in Lockerbie
Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells. Renovations in Lockerbie are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster.
First-fix pipework in Lockerbie extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Our Dumfries and Galloway coverage takes in Lockerbie, about 11 miles from Dumfries. Coverage includes DG11.

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
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. A survey in Lockerbie 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.
