Before you book in Edinburgh
Frequency
Most commercial systems should be serviced at least once a year; busy kitchens, gyms, salons and server rooms usually need two or more visits.
Leased premises
If your Edinburgh premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
F-gas
Where a system is above the 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent threshold, the service visit can include the mandatory leak check.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Types of premises we cover in Edinburgh
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.
FAQs for Edinburgh
How much does an air conditioning service cost in Edinburgh?
In Edinburgh, expect about £170–£235 per visit, first indoor unit, plus VAT. A typical job (service visit for a small system, 1–2 indoor units) is £170–£375 plus VAT. Any parts or repairs are priced before we go ahead.
Do you also cover the Lothians, Fife and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?
Yes. Alongside Edinburgh, we also cover the Lothians, Fife and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
How often should commercial air conditioning be serviced?
At least once a year, and every three to six months for systems in kitchens, gyms, salons, dusty environments or server rooms that run 24/7.
Is a service the same as an F-gas leak check?
No, but they are often done together. A leak check is a legal requirement for systems above certain refrigerant thresholds; a service is broader maintenance.
