New build and renovation air conditioning across Glasgow and Dunbartonshire
For new Glasgow extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Renovations in Glasgow are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells.

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.
