New build and renovation air conditioning in Vale of Leven
For new Vale of Leven extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells.
Renovations in Vale of Leven are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Vale of Leven lies roughly 14 miles from Glasgow, and we cover it as part of Glasgow and Dunbartonshire. Homes in G82 and PA14 are all within our coverage.

It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Central and Southern Scotland tend to be. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles.

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.

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. We book surveys in Vale of Leven at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
