Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Hawick
In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating. If your home in Hawick is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit.
If your Hawick home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see. Hawick sits around 13 miles from Galashiels, inside our Scottish Borders area. Homes in TD9 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Hawick

Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure.

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 Hawick, 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. 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.
The survey
On a survey in Hawick 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. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
