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. 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 Earlston hinges on three things we take seriously: heat-loss accuracy, emitter sizing and outdoor-unit siting. TD4 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: 20 minutes via the A68.
Each heat pump we commission in Earlston is fully MCS certified and the documentation pack is sent direct to Home Energy Scotland so your grant funds release without delay.
