Air Source Heat Pumps Scotland

Yes. An air source heat pump can fully replace your gas boiler for both heating and hot water. Heat pumps produce lower temperature heat than gas boilers, so some radiators may need upsizing. We assess this during your no-obligation survey and include any necessary radiator upgrades in your quote. Underfloor heating works particularly well with heat pumps.

It depends on your current fuel type, your home, how the system is designed and your electricity tariff. Heat pumps deliver several units of heat for every unit of electricity used, making them more efficient than combustion-based heating. Switching from oil, LPG or older electric heating can lower running costs. Your survey quote explains what to expect for your home.

Heat pump installation typically takes 2-4 days depending on system complexity and whether radiator upgrades are needed. From initial enquiry to completed installation, the timeline includes survey, system design, DNO notification, and scheduling. We manage every stage and keep you updated throughout.

Air source heat pumps are Permitted Development in Scotland for most residential properties, so no planning permission is required. The unit must be at least 1 metre from the property boundary. Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas may need consent. We assess this during your no-obligation survey.

Yes, and it is an excellent combination. Solar panels generate electricity during the day that can help power your heat pump, reducing how much grid electricity you buy. Combined with battery storage and a smart export tariff, you can use more of your own renewable energy. We design combined systems tailored to your property.

Our installation partners fit air source heat pumps from established manufacturers including Vaillant, Daikin, and Mitsubishi Electric. All are reliable brands with strong performance in Scottish conditions. We recommend the best option for your specific property and heating requirements.
