Air conditioning for period and listed homes across Angus and Dundee
If your Dundee home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. If your home in Dundee is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.

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%.
Listed building consent
For a listed property in Angus and Dundee, consent comes first: the council decides on the outdoor unit position, the pipe routes and any change to historic fabric. Conservation areas add their own limits on units facing a road. In Scotland, planning conditions for outdoor units depend on the property type and location; conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care.
The survey
A survey in Angus and Dundee 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. On a survey in Angus and Dundee 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.
