Wall-mounted air conditioning across Moray
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Elgin needs. Where a home in Elgin faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought.

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
Scotland has its own permitted development rules for heat pumps and outdoor units, with stricter treatment of listed buildings and conservation areas. We check the current position for your property with you and, if needed, with the council.
