5 Aircon Installation Services in Edinburgh That’ll Help Keep You Cool
As much as I love Edinburgh’s mostly cool all-year-round weather, I long for those rare sunny days whenever I’m on my regular jogs, as I get to admire the city’s beauty. What I’m not a huge fan of, however, is staying at home during this heat.
This is why installing an air-conditioning unit was one of the best decisions I made as a homeowner. Although they’re mostly found in office spaces, I decided to have one because I can’t stand sweating inside my own home.
Fortunately, I was lucky enough to get one of the most trusted companies to do it. Before ending up with them, however, keep reading to see some of Edinburgh’s best air conditioning installation services we considered!

The Edinburgh Air Conditioning Company was recommended to me by our HR, who told us that this company installed our office’s AC unit. Our office is always cool and has never had any issues with heating whatsoever, so we decided to reach out to them.
We were pleased to discover that they also offered residential services and that they have an in-depth process for installations.
They told us that they don’t have fixed rates and would usually take the clients’ budget ranges and needs into close consideration. It also helps that they offer free quotations!
We also spoke to previous clients, and they spoke highly of their services. One thing they commonly highlighted was the turnaround time, stating how the quickness of the service didn’t disrupt their daily routine.
They were also pleased with the results, which led them to continue using the company’s repair and maintenance services to this day.
The only thing they could improve is their customer service’s responsiveness.
Highly recommend them
“We had AC installed by Edinburgh Air Conditioning recently, and I highly recommend them.
The team was a pleasure to work with, from coming out to the property to do a site visit, quoting, managing schedules and then delivering on time and to great standards.
The work done was immaculate and to a really high standard, for what I think is a really fair price.
I couldn’t recommend these guys more and shout out to Darren and Cate especially!”

Everything went incredibly smoothly.
“The heat in my garden room was unbelievable—until I had Edinburgh Air Conditioning install a much-needed cooling system. From start to finish, everything went incredibly smoothly. The team were fantastic—informative, reliable, polite, and courteous throughout the whole process.
I’m so pleased with the results that I’m now planning to have them install air conditioning in my home too. Highly recommended”

B-DACS Ltd was one of our top prospects because of their call-out and repair services. They offer these services 24/7, and they even cater to customers who didn’t receive installation services from them, making them the guys to call when you’re in a pickle.
Their workers are also incredibly skilled. We interviewed those who availed of this repair service, and they shared how impressed they were when the worker meticulously found the root of the problem and worked promptly to repair it.
However, what caught our attention the most about this company is its in-depth design services. They tailor-fit each system based on the clients’ designated space, whether it be a commercial building or a small home.
We also reached out to their previous clients, and they told us how they had zero regrets because of the workers. From coming in on time to cleaning up after themselves, these skilled workers are as professional as they come.
However, we did notice that their online presence isn’t as established. Plus, they only have a handful of testimonials online, which could affect potential clients’ decision-making.
Couldn’t be happier
“We had a failed air-con unit in our server room – and even though b-dacs were busy, they prioritised our job and had a full new system in within days. I couldn’t be happier. Very impressed with the customer service and workmanship. (G&M Radiator Mfg)”

Commercial Temperature Solutions Ltd. caught our attention because they offered services beyond installations and air-conditioner services. For instance, they also cater to any issues regarding refrigerators and heaters.
Their AC installation services are top-notch as well. Previous customers shared how pleased they were with the speed of their unit installation and the high quality of the workmanship.
Moreover, they appreciated how courteous these professionals were, showing up on time and cleaning up all the messes made during the installation.
We also appreciate how the company provides free quotations for their services via phone calls. Another plus? They’re quick to answer!
Lastly, the company also offers 24/7 emergency services. Although we haven’t tried this ourselves, regulars have told us how reliable this service is, noting how fast they’re able to send a worker on site after a phone call.
Our only gripe here is the slightly expensive price range.
Prompt and diligent
“Absolutely fantastic service from these guys, at our business on Pleasance Edinburgh, they were so prompt and diligent and carried out the repair to our deli service to a fantastic standard. They will definitely be our go-to guys going forward. 5* + Mandy White”

Extremely pleased
“Very fast, efficient service, my air conditioning unit was fitted 6 days after the initial call. Extremely pleased with the service, very neat and tidy job with the minimum of disruption.
Arrived on time, very efficient fitters, everything taken away, and the place left clean and tidy. Could not have asked for a better job and price. Would definitely recommend now have a sun room that is a pleasant temperature.”

GMA Air Conditioning Ltd’s 25+ years of experience immediately cemented our confidence in their services. Surely enough, we were right, as their previous clients spoke highly of them during our interviews, particularly regarding their workers.
One of the takeaways from our interviews was the friendliness of these workers. Some clients even noted how they were given tips on how to better take care of their AC units on their own, even if it meant it may cause them their next maintenance appointment.
They were also noted as being prompt, as they were never late for any appointment, and they were able to finish their tasks in record time.
We were also impressed with the variety of services they offered outside of air-conditioning. A prime example of this is their indoor air quality testing, which aims to optimise the client’s living conditions inside their homes/offices.
The only thing they could improve upon is their availability, as they’re only open on weekdays at the time of writing.
Couldn’t be happier with the service
“I recently had GMA Airconditioning install a system in my takeaway, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and delivered high-quality work.
The installation was done neatly and on time, and the results have made a real difference to the comfort of the shop. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable air conditioning services. Thanks again to the team at GMA!”

East Air Conditioning Ltd’s impressive portfolio was enough to make us take a closer look at their services. We saw their proven work not only in residential spaces but also in commercial gyms, hotels, and stadiums.
We also interviewed homeowners who availed of their AC installation services, and they further reiterated the company’s high-quality workmanship. They mainly highlighted how seamless their AC system looked and how quick the overall process was.
Speaking of process, they follow a smooth flow that starts with their representative assessing the homeowner’s space before recommending a system/model. We were also pleased to discover that they offered free quotations for potential customers.
The company also offers 24/7 support via their phones and online channels. Plus, they have a dedicated team for emergencies.
One thing they could improve, however, is their online presence, as the company doesn’t seem legit from the get-go because their testimonials are pretty sparse. Furthermore, we have to mention that their location is a bit far from the city centre.
Great group of hard-working guys
“What a fantastic company! From beginning to end, the whole process of having AC units installed in a residential property was excellent. Time was taken to work out just what we needed, what would be best and how it would look inside and outside.
The installation team were polite, on time, tidy and thoroughly went over everything. No extra work was needed, no damage to paintwork or touch-up required. AC works brilliantly, as does the heat function.
Very easy to use. And super quiet. Would absolutely recommend this company, great group of hard-working guys. Thank you.”
