Air conditioning replacement and removal across the Highlands
During building work in Inverness, units can be recovered and removed so the job can go ahead safely. Units over fifteen years old in Inverness homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought.
Prices in the Highlands
Our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland guide price for air conditioning replacement and removal is £175–£445 to remove and recover one system, VAT included. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland tend to be. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. As an example, the Like-for-like option (replace one system using sound existing routes) would typically be £995–£1,995 here.

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