Wall-mounted air conditioning in Peebles
In a semi or terrace in Peebles, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
Where a home in Peebles faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Peebles lies roughly 15 miles from Galashiels, and we cover it as part of the Scottish Borders. Homes in EH45 are all within our coverage.

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.
The survey
On a survey in Peebles 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. A survey in Peebles usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
