New build and renovation air conditioning across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
For new Paisley extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Renovations in Paisley are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows.
Prices in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
Our Central and Southern Scotland guide price for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £365–£795 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Central and Southern 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. On our Central and Southern Scotland figures, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) is 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
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
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. On a survey in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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.
