Air Source Heat Pumps in Earlston

Earlston sits on the A68 between Kelso and Lauder, with a strong commuter contingent thanks to the Borders Railway at nearby Tweedbank. Newer estates off Mill Road and the older High Street stone properties make for a tidy mix of straightforward combi swaps and more involved system upgrades.

MCS Certified and RECC member, we design and install air source heat pumps across Earlston — including full Home Energy Scotland Grant support of up to £7,500 plus an interest-free loan. Every system is designed for genuine winter performance, not just to tick the grant box.

Travel from our Kelso base: 20 minutes via the A68.

Local considerations in Earlston

  • Estates off Mill Road and Bothwell Park are typically gas-fed with system or combi boilers — quick like-for-like swaps.

  • Easy A68 access keeps response times fast across TD4.
  • A growing number of EV-owning households are also asking us about heat pumps — sensible questions given the property type.

  • Heat-loss survey done properly before any quote.
