Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Bearsden
If your Bearsden home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells.
If your home in Bearsden is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit. Bearsden sits around 5 miles from Glasgow, inside our Glasgow and Dunbartonshire area. Homes in G61 are all within our coverage.

Listed building consent
For a listed property in Bearsden, 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. Scotland has its own permitted development rules for heat pumps and outdoor units, with stricter treatment of listed buildings and conservation areas. We check the current position for your property with you and, if needed, with the council.
The survey
Surveys in Bearsden cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. A survey in Bearsden 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.
