Here, heat pumps are sized for low winter temperatures and exposed sites. A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Stornoway needs.

Where a home in Stornoway faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. We cover Stornoway and the rest of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles, including Kirkwall and Lerwick. Postcode districts we cover here include HS1.

Prices in Stornoway

In the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland, our guide range for wall-mounted air conditioning is £995–£2,645 per room, including VAT. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. As an example, the Popular option (quieter mid-range unit with Wi-Fi control and better seasonal efficiency for a living room) would typically be £1,395–£1,895 here. Travel, ferry or accommodation costs for Stornoway are not in these figures. They are quoted to you as a fixed amount in writing before you book.

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.

The survey

In Stornoway 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. 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.
