New build and renovation air conditioning in Selkirk
Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around. For new Selkirk extensions with flat roofs, the outdoor unit position is best agreed against the architect's drawings.
First-fix pipework in Selkirk extensions goes in while the joists and studs are open. Selkirk sits around 5 miles from Galashiels, inside our Scottish Borders area. Postcode districts we cover here include TD7.

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.

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. We book surveys in Selkirk at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
