Air source heat pumps surveyed in Haddington
Haddington is the largest of the East Lothian towns we cover and the busiest non-Borders patch on our books. The mix of historic stone properties around the High Street, post-war estates off Aberlady Road and a lively commuter scene out toward Edinburgh creates strong demand for combi swaps, full bathroom refits and increasingly heat-pump enquiries.
An active second-property and holiday-home market drives steady servicing demand. For air source heat pumps, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
MCS Certified and RECC member, we design and install air source heat pumps across Haddington. 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. This page is specifically for homeowners who need to check property suitability, emitter changes and grant-ready system design.

Before you book: local practical answers
Are you actually local to East Lothian or coming over from the Borders?+
We're Borders-based but East Lothian is part of our regular weekly round — we run dedicated Haddington and coastal days, so EH41 work is scheduled around them rather than as a one-off.
Can you handle conservation-area work in central Haddington?+
Yes — we plan flue routing and external pipework carefully on conservation-area elevations and flag any consents needed before quoting.
What should be checked before quoting air source heat pumps at this Haddington property?+
Strong Edinburgh-commuter demand means we book early-morning and end-of-day slots when we can. We confirm that point on site, then match the air source heat pumps specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every EH41 address is alike.
Is this page aimed at homeowners?+
Yes. The recommendations prioritise homeowners who need to check property suitability, emitter changes and grant-ready system design. If the building or occupancy differs, the survey is where we adjust the plan.
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.
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.
