New build and renovation air conditioning across Lanarkshire
First-fix pipework in Hamilton extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Renovations in Hamilton are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.

Guide prices around Lanarkshire run from £365 to £795 per indoor position (first fix) including VAT. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Central and Southern Scotland labour rates.

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.

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