Which rules apply in Scotland?
In Scotland, building work, conversion or demolition needs a building warrant unless it is exempt, with a completion certificate at the end. The council's building standards service is the verifier.
What does it cost in Scotland?
Our guide range for an air source heat pump in Scotland is £9,700–£13,600 per home. That is the UK range of £10,000–£14,000 (published figure) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 0.97 (our own estimate); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
Every heating job starts with confirming in writing who will do the work and what registration or certification they hold, and that paperwork goes into your handover pack.

Do you service heating systems?
Our focus is installation and upgrades. Annual gas safety checks are usually let as a separate compliance contract.
Do heat pumps work in older social homes?
They can, provided the home's heat loss is reduced first and the emitters are sized properly. That is why heat pumps usually sit within a whole-house retrofit plan.
