Air Source Heat Pumps in Melrose

Melrose has one of the most varied housing stocks in the Borders — Victorian villas around Dingleton and the High Street, smaller estates off Weirhill and traditional cottages up toward Eildon. Combine that with a high proportion of second homes and holiday lets and you get a town where reliable heating, sensible servicing intervals and quiet, efficient kit really matter.

MCS Certified and RECC member, we design and install air source heat pumps across Melrose — 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: 25 minutes via the A6091.

Local considerations in Melrose

  • Several large Victorian villas have legacy gravity-fed systems we routinely upgrade to fully pumped, controlled setups.
  • Holiday-let owners regularly book annual servicing well in advance to avoid a peak-season breakdown.
  • Heat pump enquiries have risen sharply with the Eildons backdrop — owners want low-noise outdoor units that disappear into the garden.
  • Some narrow High Street access means we plan boiler deliveries and skip placement carefully.

What we'll do for you

  • MCS Certified — required for Home Energy Scotland Grant funding.
  • Heat-loss survey done properly before any quote.
  • Radiator and underfloor upgrades planned alongside where needed.
  • Quiet, modern outdoor units sited carefully.

Melrose Air Source Heat Pumps FAQs

Can you service Melrose holiday lets out of season?+

Yes — we deliberately keep autumn slots free for holiday-let owners across TD6. Booking in September or early October avoids a January breakdown when the property is fully booked.

Are heat pumps a good fit for Melrose villas?+

Often, yes — but the radiators usually need upsizing, and we'll model heat loss properly for the older stone walls. We'll be honest if a high-efficiency boiler is a better short-term fit.

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.
