Do you do same-week landlord CP12s in Broomlands?

Yes — we hold midweek slots specifically for letting agents and self-managing landlords across TD5 7.

Will a 30kW combi cope with a 4-bed Broomlands semi?

Usually yes for hot-water demand, provided we upsize the gas supply at the same time — most originals are sized for 24kW units.

Air Source Heat Pumps in Kelso

Kelso is our home town and the base of every van we run. The mix of Georgian townhouses around The Square, modern estates off Inch Road and farms out toward Sprouston means we see almost every kind of heating system in one postcode — gas combis, oil boilers, LPG installs and a growing number of heat pump retrofits.

MCS Certified and RECC member, we design and install air source heat pumps across Kelso. 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 Kelso hinges on three things we take seriously: heat-loss accuracy, emitter sizing and outdoor-unit siting. TD5 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.

Local considerations in Kelso

Outlying farms and steadings (Sprouston, Stichill, Smailholm) are off the gas grid and rely on oil or LPG, which we install and maintain regularly.
Newer estates such as Pinnaclehill and Inch Road typically have system or combi gas boilers — straightforward swaps with same-day completion.
Hard water in parts of TD5 means scale management and filter housings are worth specifying on new installs.
Many properties around The Square and Bowmont Street are stone-built with limited loft space — flueing and condensate routing need careful 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.

Kelso Air Source Heat Pumps FAQs

Do you cover the rural villages around Kelso?+

Yes — Sprouston, Stichill, Ednam, Smailholm, Yetholm, Morebattle and Greenlaw are all part of our normal local round, including off-grid oil and LPG work.

Are you actually based in Kelso?+

Yes — Graham Oliver Plumbing & Heating is registered at 11 Thomson View, Kelso TD5 7UD. Every van starts and finishes in town, so call-outs in Kelso usually mean same-day attendance.

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