New build and renovation air conditioning across Moray
For new Elgin extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Renovations in Elgin are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought.
Prices in Moray
For Moray, expect roughly £350 to £795 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included, adjusted for typical Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland rates. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland tend to be. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. Typical First and second fix work (complete install priced per room including units) lands around £1,295–£2,645 in this area.

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.
The survey
On a survey in Moray the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. 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.
