New build and renovation air conditioning in Peebles
First-fix pipework in Peebles 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 Peebles extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings. Our Scottish Borders coverage takes in Peebles, about 15 miles from Galashiels. Coverage includes EH45.
Prices in Peebles
For Peebles, expect roughly £365 to £795 per indoor position (first fix), VAT included, adjusted for typical Central and Southern Scotland rates. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Central and Southern Scotland labour rates. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the First and second fix option (complete install priced per room including units) would typically be £1,345–£2,695 here.

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.
