New build and renovation air conditioning in Greenock
Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells. For new Greenock extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings.
Renovations in Greenock are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster. Greenock sits around 15 miles from Paisley, inside our Renfrewshire and Inverclyde area. Coverage includes PA15 and PA16.
Prices in Greenock
In Central and Southern Scotland, our guide range for air conditioning for new builds and renovations is £365–£795 per indoor position (first fix), including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Central and Southern Scotland tend to be. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles.

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.
The survey
Surveys in Greenock cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. A survey in Greenock usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
