Gifford sits in the rural foothills of the Lammermuirs, with a high proportion of substantial detached homes, a notable second-home contingent and many off-grid properties. That makes Gifford one of the more interesting parts of our East Lothian work — proper rural heating design, oil and LPG installs and serious heat-pump enquiries on larger properties.
As Vaillant Advanced Installers we install gas, oil and LPG boilers across Gifford with manufacturer-backed warranties of up to 12 years. A like-for-like swap is usually a single-day job; a full system upgrade — new flue route, magnetic filter, smart controls, system flush and a fresh expansion vessel — typically runs to two or three days on site. We always quote in writing after a proper survey, never over the phone, and we never use commission-based salespeople in your home.
In Gifford we see a real mix of system types — older open-vent setups in the period stock, system boilers in mid-century housing and combis in newer builds. We size every replacement against actual hot-water demand and real radiator output, not a ballpark figure, so the new Gifford (EH41) installation runs efficiently from day one rather than short-cycling through the first winter.
Travel from our Kelso base: 55 minutes via the A697.
Every new boiler we install in Gifford is registered with Building Standards on your behalf and the warranty paperwork is handed over before we leave site.

Yes — oil and LPG work is a regular part of our EH41 Gifford round, and we carry common spares for Grant, Worcester Bosch and Warmflow units on the van.
Often yes — Gifford properties tend to have the size and outdoor space to make heat pumps work. We design for genuine winter performance, not just to qualify for the Home Energy Scotland grant.
Most domestic installations fall between £2,200 and £4,500 depending on make, model, controls and any system upgrades. We give you a fixed written price after a free site visit — no surprises on the day.
Up to 12 years on Vaillant boilers as Advanced Installers; 7–10 years typical on Worcester Bosch, Ideal and Baxi. We register the warranty for you on the day of commissioning.
A like-for-like combi swap usually means one day with the heating off. A full system upgrade or a back-boiler-to-combi conversion runs two to three days. We'll always tell you up front what to expect.
