New build and renovation air conditioning in Newton Mearns
First-fix pipework in Newton Mearns extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
For new Newton Mearns extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. We cover Newton Mearns as part of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, roughly 6 miles from Paisley. We cover G77 and the streets around them.

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. A survey in Newton Mearns 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.
