In the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland, our guide range for air conditioning replacement and removal is £175–£445 to remove and recover one system, including VAT. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs.

Travel, ferry or accommodation costs for Wick are not in these figures. They are quoted to you as a fixed amount in writing before you book.

The survey
Surveys in Wick are arranged around travel. We confirm the date and any travel, ferry or accommodation cost in writing before you commit, then the survey covers rooms, pipe routes, electrics and noise as normal. Where travel is involved, we agree the survey arrangements and any travel cost up front. On the day, the engineer measures the rooms, checks the electrics and agrees the outdoor unit position with you.
