Before you book in the Lothians
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in the Lothians 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.
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.
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.
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.
Two rules matter for most businesses in Scotland: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for systems of 12 kW or more.
Questions from businesses in the Lothians
How much does commercial air conditioning cost in the Lothians?
A single wall-mounted split typically costs £1,395–£2,350 plus VAT installed in the Lothians, 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 Edinburgh, Fife and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?
Yes. Alongside the Lothians, we also cover Edinburgh, Fife and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
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.
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.
Do you handle landlord consent?
We supply the drawings, unit data sheets and method of fixing your landlord or managing agent will ask for.
