Wall-mounted air conditioning in Stromness
Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus. In a semi or terrace in Stromness, the indoor unit often goes on a back bedroom wall with the outdoor unit on a bracket below.
A single wall-mounted unit is often all a bedroom or sunny living room in Stromness needs. Stromness sits within our Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles area. That includes the KW16 postcode district.

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.
