New build and renovation air conditioning in Hamilton
In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating. First-fix pipework in Hamilton extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open.
For new Hamilton extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Hamilton is one of the main towns we cover in Lanarkshire, alongside East Kilbride and Cumbernauld. Postcode districts we cover here include ML3.

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.
