Air Source Heat Pumps in Greenlaw

Situated at the junction of the A697 and A6105, Greenlaw presents a mix of heating challenges, from the grand Georgian residences bordering the Green to contemporary housing on the village outskirts. As the former county town of Berwickshire, the building stock varies significantly. We provide specialist support for this diverse range of homes, whether you are managing an older oil-fired system in a stone-built cottage or require a modern LPG or gas boiler service in a newer build.

MCS Certified and RECC member, we design and install air source heat pumps across Greenlaw. 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 Greenlaw hinges on three things we take seriously: heat-loss accuracy, emitter sizing and outdoor-unit siting. TD10 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: 25 minutes via the A697.

Local considerations in Greenlaw

  • The Georgian architecture surrounding the Greenlaw Town House requires careful routing for internal pipework to preserve period features. We often handle sympathetic retrofits in these older, thick-walled stone buildings.
  • Properties located higher up on the Blackadder Water can face pressure fluctuations. We provide tailored solutions, including unvented cylinders and booster pumps, to ensure consistent flow for modern showers and appliances.
  • Greenlaw's exposure to the Berwickshire winds makes insulation and heating controls vital. We install advanced Vaillant weather-compensating thermostats to adjust boiler output based on the precise outdoor temperature.
  • With many properties in Greenlaw sitting off the mains gas network, we specialise in high-efficiency oil boiler installations and long-term maintenance for external Grant or Worcester Bosch units found in larger gardens.

What we'll do for you

  • MCS Certified — required for Home Energy Scotland Grant funding and the £7,500 grant top-up.
  • Full room-by-room heat-loss survey before any quote — never a generic kW figure.
  • Radiator upsizing and underfloor planning costed in alongside the pump itself.
  • Quiet, modern outdoor units sited carefully for noise, airflow and planning compliance.
  • Hot water cylinder and buffer tank sizing matched to occupancy, not just floor area.
  • Commissioning data and MCS certificate issued so the grant funds are released without delay.

Recent Greenlaw air source heat pumps work

  • Annual service and efficiency check on an external Grant Vortex oil boiler for a farm cottage situated just outside the village.
  • Emergency repair of a burst copper pipe in a traditional stone house on Duns Road, including a full system drain-down and refill.
  • Installation of a new Vaillant ecoTEC boiler in a gas-connected property, including a MagnaClean filter and a 10-year extended warranty for peace of mind.

We recently completed a comprehensive oil boiler upgrade for a period property near the Blackadder Water, ensuring the new system integrated seamlessly with existing cast iron radiators.

Each heat pump we commission in Greenlaw is fully MCS certified and the documentation pack is sent direct to Home Energy Scotland so your grant funds release without delay.

Greenlaw Air Source Heat Pumps FAQs

Can you help with an urgent plumbing repair near the Greenlaw Town House?+

Yes, we frequently visit Greenlaw and the surrounding farms to repair leaks, clear blockages, or install new fixtures. Whether it is a traditional stone property or a modern build, we carry the necessary tools to resolve plumbing issues promptly.

Do you work on both gas and oil systems in Greenlaw?+

Most older homes in the square and surrounding streets are off-grid. We provide full oil boiler replacements and tank inspections. For those in newer developments with a gas supply, we are Vaillant Advanced installers, offering extended warranties on high-efficiency natural gas systems.

Will it actually keep my home warm in a Scottish winter?+

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.

Am I eligible for the £7,500 grant?+

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.

Do I need new radiators?+

Sometimes one or two need upsizing — rarely the whole house. We tell you exactly which (and the cost) inside the written quote, before you commit.
