Air Source Heat Pumps in Gifford

Gifford sits in the rural foothills of the Lammermuirs, with a high proportion of substantial detached homes, a notable second-home contingent and many off-grid properties. That makes Gifford one of the more interesting parts of our East Lothian work — proper rural heating design, oil and LPG installs and serious heat-pump enquiries on larger properties.

MCS Certified and RECC member, we design and install air source heat pumps across Gifford — 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: 55 minutes via the A697.

Local considerations in Gifford

  • Many properties are off the gas grid and rely on oil or LPG.
  • Lammermuir-edge exposure means cold-snap heat-loss design matters.
  • Larger detached homes suit heat pumps when paired with proper radiator upgrades and underfloor zones.
  • Strong second-home market means autumn servicing is in steady demand.

What we'll do for you

  • MCS Certified — required for Home Energy Scotland Grant funding.
  • Heat-loss survey done properly before any quote.
  • Radiator and underfloor upgrades planned alongside where needed.
  • Quiet, modern outdoor units sited carefully.
