Covering Edinburgh and nearby
We cover all of Edinburgh, including Queensferry, Currie and Balerno. We quote for premises right across Edinburgh, including rural and edge-of-town sites.
Postcode districts we cover include EH1, EH3, EH6, EH9, EH13, EH16, EH21 and EH30. Buildings across Edinburgh range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What you get
- Heat load assessment per zone (occupancy, IT, lighting, solar gain)
- Zoned design so meeting rooms can be controlled separately
- Ceiling cassettes, ducted units or wall units to suit the ceiling
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor, ceiling and lighting layout
- Commissioning, handover and F-gas records

How it works in Edinburgh
Survey the floor
We look at the ceiling void, the grid layout, window orientation, occupancy and where the outdoor plant can go.
Zone the space
Open-plan, meeting rooms, reception and IT rooms are treated as separate zones with their own controls.
Coordinate the ceiling
Unit positions are set against the lighting and grid layout so cassettes and grilles sit neatly. We keep work areas in Edinburgh screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Install around the business
Work is phased by area or done out of hours so staff can keep working.
Commission and train
Controls are set with sensible limits and scheduling, and we show your facilities lead how to manage them.
Before you book in Edinburgh
Fresh air
Air conditioning recirculates air; it does not provide fresh air on its own. Many offices need ventilation alongside it to meet the Building Regulations.
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.
Leases and dilapidations
In a leased office, agree with the landlord who owns the system and what happens at the end of the lease.
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.
Typical premises in Edinburgh
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
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.
Questions about office AC in Edinburgh
How much does office air conditioning cost in Edinburgh?
Guide prices in Edinburgh run from about £2,050 to £4,750 per zone, plus VAT. A typical job (office of about 150 m² with 4–6 zones) costs £8,595–£23,500 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
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.
Does office air conditioning provide fresh air?
No — it heats and cools the air already in the room. Fresh air comes from ventilation, which we can design alongside the cooling.
Ceiling cassettes or wall units for an office?
Cassettes suit offices with a suspended ceiling and spread air evenly in four directions. Wall units are cheaper and suit small rooms or solid ceilings. Ducted units are the most discreet.
