    Expert Air Conditioning Across Edinburgh and the Lothians

    SD Plumbing & Heating are a Gas Safe registered heating company who have been designing and fitting heating systems across Edinburgh for over 10 years. Air conditioning is a natural extension of that work. The same disciplines apply to system sizing, pipework, and controls.

    We are F-Gas and REFCOM certified, the legal requirement for any company installing air conditioning systems in the UK. F-Gas is to refrigerant work what Gas Safe is to gas work, a guarantee that your installation is carried out safely and to the proper standard.

    We install single-room split systems, multi-split systems for whole-home cooling, and ducted systems for new builds and renovations. Survey, design, installation, commissioning, and warranty registration are all handled by our own engineers. No subcontractors.

    Why Choose Air Conditioning?

    Air conditioning is no longer just for hot summers. Modern units are heat pumps, designed to cool, heat, dehumidify, and filter the air in your home all year round. For Edinburgh properties, that means consistent comfort regardless of the season and lower running costs than electric heating.

    Year-Round Climate Control

    A modern air conditioning system cools your home in summer and provides efficient supplementary heating in spring and autumn, all from a single unit.

    Better Sleep and Better Air

    Built-in filters remove dust, pollen, and allergens from the air, while consistent overnight temperatures support better sleep through the warmer summer months. Useful year-round for hayfever sufferers.

    Energy Efficient Performance

    A++ rated inverter systems adjust output to match real-time demand, using significantly less power than electric heaters or portable AC units. Lower running costs and better efficiency.

    Adds Property Value

    Air conditioning is increasingly expected in high-spec renovations, loft conversions, and home offices. A well-installed system adds tangible value to modern Edinburgh new builds and renovations.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Most installations fall under permitted development and do not require planning permission. Tenement flats, listed buildings, and properties in conservation areas are the main exceptions and may require approval, particularly for the external condenser unit. We assess this during the on-site survey and confirm the position before any work begins.
    Cost depends on the type of system, the number of indoor units, and the complexity of the install. A single-room split system is the most affordable option, while multi-split and ducted systems cost more due to additional kit and labour. Every quote we provide is fixed and itemised, so you know exactly what is included.
    Yes. Modern air conditioning units are heat pumps, which means they can both heat and cool. They extract heat from the outside air and transfer it indoors, providing efficient supplementary heating in shoulder seasons and milder winter days. Many homeowners find them a useful complement to a gas central heating system.
    A standard single-room split system is typically installed and commissioned in one day. Multi-split or ducted systems can take two to four days depending on the number of indoor units and the complexity of the pipework runs. Your survey will include a confirmed timescale so you can plan around the install.
