Air Source Heat Pumps 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.

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.

Heat-pump performance in Haddington hinges on three things we take seriously: heat-loss accuracy, emitter sizing and outdoor-unit siting. EH41 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: 1 hour 10 via the A697 / A1.

Local considerations in Haddington

  • Modern Haddington estates are gas-fed and well-insulated — straight-forward combi territory.
  • Strong Edinburgh-commuter demand means we book early-morning and end-of-day slots when we can.
  • An active second-property and holiday-home market drives steady servicing demand.
  • Conservation-area restrictions around the High Street need flue and external-pipework planning.

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.

Haddington Air Source Heat Pumps FAQs

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.

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.

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.
