New build and renovation air conditioning in Perth
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 Perth extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open.
For new Perth extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. As well as Perth itself, our Perth and Kinross coverage takes in Auchterarder, Blairgowrie and the towns around them. We cover PH1 and the streets around them.

For Perth, expect roughly £365 to £795 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included, adjusted for typical Central and Southern Scotland rates. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Central and Southern Scotland tend to be. Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. For reference, the First and second fix option in Perth (complete install priced per room including units) usually comes to about £1,345–£2,695.

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
First-fix work is about coordination, while the outdoor unit follows the normal planning rules for the property.
