Air Source Heat Pumps 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.

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.

Heat-pump performance in Hawick hinges on three things we take seriously: heat-loss accuracy, emitter sizing and outdoor-unit siting. TD9 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: 45 minutes via the A698.

Local considerations in Hawick

  • 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.
  • Dense terracing around High Street and Buccleuch Street means tight gas runs and careful flue siting.

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.

Hawick Air Source Heat Pumps FAQs

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.

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.
