Air conditioning for period and listed homes across Perth and Kinross
If your Perth home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. If your home in Perth is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit. Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows.

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
Period homes in Perth and Kinross that are not listed can usually follow the normal rules for outdoor units, but listed buildings always need consent, and conservation areas restrict units on elevations facing a road. Outdoor units on Scottish homes can often be installed without a planning application, but the conditions differ from England's, so we confirm the rules for your property at survey.

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