Our coverage in Inverness
In Inverness, typical premises are high-street shops, offices above them, surgeries, salons and local industrial units.
We work across Inverness's postcode districts, including IV2.
In Inverness, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.
Businesses across Highland can combine servicing with any F-gas leak checks their systems need, which saves a separate attendance.

Local points to consider
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Inverness 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.
Working hours
Most Inverness businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
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).
Questions from businesses in Inverness
How much does commercial air conditioning cost in Inverness?
A single wall-mounted split typically costs £1,500–£2,550 plus VAT installed in Inverness, 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.
Do you also cover Nairn and Forres?
Yes. Alongside Inverness, we also cover Nairn and Forres. 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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations and replacements on the UK mainland. Service, repair and inspection visits are priced before we book them.
Do you handle landlord consent?
We supply the drawings, unit data sheets and method of fixing your landlord or managing agent will ask for.
