Wall-mounted air conditioning in Lockerbie
Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around. In a semi or terrace in Lockerbie, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below.
Where a home in Lockerbie faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Our Dumfries and Galloway coverage takes in Lockerbie, about 11 miles from Dumfries. Coverage includes DG11.
