Air Source Heat Pumps Across the Scottish Borders

MCS Certified and RECC member, designing and installing air source heat pumps from Eyemouth and Coldstream through to Peebles, Innerleithen and West Linton. Every system is sized from a proper room-by-room heat-loss survey — not a kW guess off a postcode — so it actually performs through a real Borders winter.

Typical Borders ASHP installs net out between £4,000 and £9,000 after the £7,500 grant, depending on system size and radiator works.

Why Borders homeowners pick us for air source heat pumps

  • Home Energy Scotland Grant up to £7,500 plus an interest-free loan — we handle the entire application as part of the quote.
  • Honest about suitability: stone-built rural properties often need radiator upsizing or fabric work first, and we'll tell you so before quoting.
  • Vaillant aroTHERM plus and Daikin Altherma 3 as standard — quiet, frost-protected units suited to upland Borders sites.
  • We don't sub-contract design or commissioning — the engineer who surveyed your home is the engineer who hands it over.

What we'll do

  • 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.

Air Source Heat Pumps — Scottish Borders FAQs

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.
