Wall-mounted air conditioning in Galashiels
In a semi or terrace in Galashiels, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around.
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Galashiels needs. As well as Galashiels itself, our Scottish Borders coverage takes in Eyemouth, Hawick and the towns around them. Postcode districts we cover here include TD1.
Prices in Galashiels

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
Outdoor units on Scottish homes can often be installed without a planning application, but the conditions differ from England's, so we confirm the rules for your property at survey.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. On a survey in Galashiels the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
