New build and renovation air conditioning in Bonnyrigg
Renovations in Bonnyrigg are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows.
First-fix pipework in Bonnyrigg extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. We cover Bonnyrigg as part of Edinburgh and the Lothians, roughly 7 miles from Edinburgh. Postcode districts we cover here include EH19.

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.
