Before you book in Oban
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Oban are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Oban 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.
Working hours
Most Oban businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
Common questions in Oban
How much does commercial air conditioning cost in Oban?
A single wall-mounted split typically costs £1,500–£2,550 plus VAT installed in Oban, and a ceiling cassette £2,250–£5,195 per unit. A small shop or office with two to four indoor units usually comes to £5,195–£17,295 plus VAT. A travel charge for remote and island locations is quoted separately.
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.
Do you visit Oban?
We cover Oban by arrangement: a travel charge (ferry fares and any accommodation at cost, plus travel time) is quoted as a fixed amount in writing before anything is booked. We group visits where we can to keep it down.
