New build and renovation air conditioning in Wick
For new Wick extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Here, heat pumps are sized for low winter temperatures and exposed sites.
First-fix pipework in Wick extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Wick is about 78 miles from Inverness and falls within our Highland coverage. Coverage includes KW1.
Prices in Wick
Our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland guide price for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £350–£795 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) would typically be £1,295–£2,645 here. These figures exclude travel to Wick. Any travel, ferry or accommodation cost is quoted separately, in writing, before anything is booked.

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
Because the pipework is built into the structure, coordination with your builder matters more than planning here; the outdoor unit follows the same rules as any other installation.
The survey
Where travel is involved, we agree the survey arrangements and any travel cost up front. On the day, the engineer measures the rooms, checks the electrics and agrees the outdoor unit position with you. In Wick we often start with photos, room measurements and the make of any existing system, so the survey visit is focused and any travel cost can be quoted in writing first.
