Before you book in Aberdeen
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Aberdeen often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Leased premises
If your Aberdeen 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.
Working hours
Most Aberdeen businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
Common questions in Aberdeen
How much does commercial air conditioning cost in Aberdeen?
A single wall-mounted split typically costs £1,395–£2,350 plus VAT installed in Aberdeen, and a ceiling cassette £2,050–£4,750 per unit. A small shop or office with two to four indoor units usually comes to £4,750–£15,850 plus VAT.
Do you also cover Inverurie and Peterhead?
Yes. Alongside Aberdeen, we also cover Inverurie and Peterhead. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which refrigerant do new systems use?
Most new small split systems use R32, because new single splits under 3 kg in Great Britain cannot use refrigerants with a GWP of 750 or more. Larger systems vary by equipment.
Can you work outside our opening hours?
Yes. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged, and any extra cost is shown in the quote.
Do you handle landlord consent?
We supply the drawings, unit data sheets and method of fixing your landlord or managing agent will ask for.
