Services
Air Source Heat Pumps
Our MCS-certified air source heat pumps extract warmth from outdoor air to efficiently heat homes even in Scottish winters. Using patented technology, these systems reduce energy bills by up to 50% compared to traditional heating. Our installations include full technical surveys, fixed-price quotations, and expert aftercare support.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Harnessing underground heat through buried pipework, our ground source systems achieve 400% efficiency by converting low-grade thermal energy into usable heating. Ideal for off-grid properties, these systems require minimal maintenance and qualify for government grants. We provide full feasibility assessments and tailored design solutions.
Solar PV Installations
We install complete solar PV systems with optional battery storage, enabling homeowners to generate and store renewable electricity. Our MCS-certified installations include grid connection assistance, system testing, and 20+ year warranties. Battery integration allows energy use during peak tariff periods, maximising cost savings.
MVHR Systems
Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery ensures constant fresh air while recovering 96% of heat from outgoing air. Our systems prevent condensation and damp in airtight homes, reduce energy bills, and maintain optimal humidity levels. We provide full design, installation, and maintenance services.
Servicing and Maintenance
Annual servicing packages for heat pumps include system health checks, refrigerant pressure tests, and efficiency optimisation. Our 168 annual service covers travel within 35 miles and includes up to 1.5 hours of labour. Emergency call-outs ensure rapid fault diagnosis and transparent repair options.

Questions
Do heat pumps work effectively in Scottish winters?
Yes, our systems operate efficiently even at -20°C. We customise installations to suit Scottish climate conditions, ensuring year-round performance.
Can heat pumps reduce my energy bills?
They typically cost less to run than oil, LPG, or electric heating. Savings depend on insulation levels and electricity tariffs, with potential reductions of 30-50%.
Are heat pumps suitable for older homes?
Yes, we've successfully installed systems in properties over 150 years old. Each home receives individual assessment to ensure suitability.
What funding options exist for renewable installations?
The Home Energy Scotland grant provides 7,500 towards heat pump installations. We assist clients in accessing available financial incentives.
How effective are solar panels in Scotland?
Solar systems generate significant savings even in northern climates. Battery storage enhances effectiveness by storing excess energy for evening use.
