Air Source Heat Pumps in Lauder

Lauder is a wide-street market town high on the Lauderdale plateau, with notable exposure to wind and cold-snap weather. That changes the conversation — radiator sizing, frost protection and proper heat-loss surveys really do matter here. The mix of Georgian high-street properties and newer estates off Burnside makes for varied work.

MCS Certified and RECC member, we design and install air source heat pumps across Lauder — including full Home Energy Scotland Grant support of up to £7,500 plus an interest-free loan. Every system is designed for genuine winter performance, not just to tick the grant box.

Travel from our Kelso base: 35 minutes via the A68.

Local considerations in Lauder

Lauder Air Source Heat Pumps FAQs

How do you allow for Lauder's exposure when sizing radiators?+

We add a margin to the standard heat-loss calc for Lauderdale exposure, and recommend higher-output radiators in north-facing rooms. It costs a little more up front but stops cold spots in January.

Do you cover Oxton and Westruther?+

Yes — both are part of our regular TD2 round, including off-grid oil and LPG servicing.

Will it actually keep my home warm in winter?+

Yes — modern units operate efficiently down to around -15°C. We size and design every system specifically for Scottish climate conditions.

Am I eligible for the £7,500 grant?+

Most Scottish homeowners qualify. We guide you through the Home Energy Scotland application as part of the quote.
