Dunbar mixes historic harbour-side properties, Victorian villas along the seafront and modern estates inland. The town sits in one of the sunniest, driest pockets in Scotland but still gets serious easterly exposure on the coast — which changes how outdoor pipework, flue terminations and heat-pump units need to be specified.
MCS Certified and RECC member, we design and install air source heat pumps across Dunbar. Most of our customers access the Home Energy Scotland Grant (currently up to £7,500) plus an interest-free loan on top — we handle the entire application as part of the quote. Crucially, every system is sized from a proper room-by-room heat-loss survey, not a back-of-the-envelope kW figure, so it actually performs through a Borders winter rather than just ticking a grant box.
Heat-pump performance in Dunbar hinges on three things we take seriously: heat-loss accuracy, emitter sizing and outdoor-unit siting. EH42 properties vary from solid-stone walls to modern timber-frame builds, and each needs a different design temperature and flow strategy. We carry out the survey ourselves rather than outsourcing, so the design that lands in your inbox is the one we'll actually install.
Travel from our Kelso base: 55 minutes via the A1.
Each heat pump we commission in Dunbar is fully MCS certified and the documentation pack is sent direct to Home Energy Scotland so your grant funds release without delay.

Yes — corrosion-resistant flue terminations and external pipework are well worth specifying on harbour-side EH42 properties. We do this as standard.
Yes — we run dedicated East Lothian days that take in Dunbar, so EH42 work is scheduled efficiently rather than as a one-off long trip.
Yes — modern Vaillant and Mitsubishi units operate efficiently down to around -15°C. We size and design every system specifically for Scottish climate conditions and check radiator output room-by-room.
Most owner-occupied Scottish homes qualify. We confirm eligibility and guide you through the Home Energy Scotland application as part of the quoting process at no extra cost.
