Air Source Heat Pumps in Selkirk

Selkirk's hilly layout and largely older stone-built housing stock make for some of the more interesting heating jobs we take on. The town climbs sharply from the Ettrick Water and many of the older terraces have awkward boiler locations — converted attics, understair cupboards and outhouses. Practical experience with these layouts is exactly what we bring.

MCS Certified and RECC member, we design and install air source heat pumps across Selkirk — 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: 40 minutes via the A699.

Local considerations in Selkirk

  • Steep Selkirk streets mean we plan boiler deliveries and skip placement around access — not all addresses suit a kerbside drop.
  • Older stone-built terraces around West Port and the Market Place often have legacy back-boilers we routinely replace with combis.
  • Cold-night exposure on the higher streets means oversizing radiators slightly is often worthwhile.
  • Many homes still rely on tank-fed hot water — we give honest advice on whether a combi conversion is the right call.

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.
