Wall-mounted air conditioning in Lerwick
In a semi or terrace in Lerwick, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below. In the Highlands, Islands and the North East of Scotland, systems are sized for cold winter days first.
Where a home in Lerwick faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. Lerwick is part of our Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles coverage. We cover ZE1 and the streets around them.

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
Where travel is involved, we agree the survey arrangements and any travel cost up front. On the day, the engineer measures the rooms, checks the electrics and agrees the outdoor unit position with you. In Lerwick we often start with photos, room measurements and the make of any existing system, so the survey visit is focused and any travel cost can be quoted in writing first.
