Air source heat pumps surveyed in Hawick
Hawick is one of the larger Borders towns, with a mix of dense Victorian terraces around the town centre, post-war housing on the outer ring and rural properties up the Slitrig and Teviot. We see a wide spread of jobs here — from combi swaps and landlord work in the centre to oil servicing on outlying farms and cottages.
Dense terracing around High Street and Buccleuch Street means tight gas runs and careful flue siting. 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 Hawick. 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 landlords who need to check property suitability, emitter changes and grant-ready system design.

Property and access context
What changes the job in Hawick
- Dense terracing around High Street and Buccleuch Street means tight gas runs and careful flue siting.
- Older Victorian housing often has solid walls — we factor this into heat-pump heat-loss surveys honestly.
- Many outlying properties up the Slitrig valley remain off-grid and rely on oil or LPG.
- Plenty of rental stock means landlord gas safety certificates feature heavily in our TD9 round.
Likely projects, not a generic service list

Questions shaped by Hawick properties
Do you cover Denholm, Bonchester Bridge and Newcastleton?+
Yes — these are all part of our regular TD9 round, including off-grid oil servicing and LPG work.
Are heat pumps realistic in older Hawick terraces?+
Sometimes, but solid-wall Victorian terraces need a careful heat-loss survey first. In a lot of cases we'll recommend a high-efficiency gas boiler as the better short-term fit, with insulation upgrades planned alongside.
What should be checked before quoting air source heat pumps at this Hawick property?+
Plenty of rental stock means landlord gas safety certificates feature heavily in our TD9 round. We confirm that point on site, then match the air source heat pumps specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every TD9 address is alike.
Is this page aimed at landlords?+
Yes. The recommendations prioritise landlords 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.

Air Source Heat Pumps in Hawick: get the scope right before the price
A written Hawick quote follows a proper look at the property, including the local constraint highlighted above and the needs of landlords.
Hawick is not being treated as an interchangeable location page. The recommendation starts with dense terracing around high street and buccleuch street means tight gas runs and careful flue siting. It then combines air source heat pumps, the needs of landlords, access via the A698, and nearby coverage toward Denholm and Bonchester Bridge.
