Prices in Alness
In the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland, our guide range for smart controls and Wi-Fi upgrades is £85–£265 per indoor unit, including VAT. Labour rates in the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland keep this slightly under the national middle. More indoor units, or older models that need an infrared controller instead of a plug-in adapter, are what move the price. As an example, the Whole system option (modules for two to four indoor units, one app) would typically be £220–£545 here.

Permissions
Fitting a Wi-Fi module does not touch the refrigerant circuit and needs no planning permission; the only checks are model compatibility and a reliable signal at the indoor unit.
The visit
We agree the visit price before we come. On the day the engineer checks the system, carries out the agreed work and talks you through anything they find. Before booking, tell us the make and model and what the system is doing. We confirm the visit price, then the engineer arrives with the right equipment and, where possible, the right parts.
