Wall-mounted air conditioning in Livingston
Where a home in Livingston faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around.
In a semi or terrace in Livingston, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. Livingston is about 13 miles from Edinburgh and falls within our Edinburgh and the Lothians coverage. That includes the EH54 postcode district.
Prices in Livingston
Our Central and Southern Scotland guide price for wall-mounted air conditioning is £1,045–£2,695 per room, VAT included. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Central and Southern Scotland labour rates. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. Typical Popular work (quieter mid-range unit with Wi-Fi control and better seasonal efficiency for a living room) lands around £1,445–£1,995 in this area.

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%.
Planning and permissions
In Scotland, planning conditions for outdoor units depend on the property type and location; conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care.
