Heat Pumps For Effective Renewable Heating

Air Source and Ground Source heat pumps can provide a really effective, efficient and environmentally sound way to heat your home. In really simple terms, heat pumps extract low-grade heat from the air or ground then transform this into higher temperatures for use in your home heating system. Heat pumps only use a small amount of energy to do this and for every 1kW of electricity that is used by the heat pump, it can create approximately 4kW of energy for your heating system.

At Plumbing and Renewables, we install both air source and ground source heat pumps across Northern Scotland, including Moray, Aberdeenshire and the Highlands.

Why Install an Air Source Heat Pump?

1. Low Running Costs: A well-designed and professionally installed air source heat pump system can be up to 400% efficient, making it cheaper to run than many other traditional heating systems.
2. Environmental Benefits: In the face of the climate emergency, switching to a heat pump is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. By using less energy to heat your home, you’ll lower your emissions and reduce harmful toxins.
3. Low Maintenance: Air source heat pumps are considered “fit and forget” technology. Once installed, they require minimal maintenance—just an annual service. With warranties of a minimum of 7 years, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your system will run smoothly for years.

Air Source Heat Pump Financial Help

Installation costs might be lower than you think! Whilst systems can cost more than replacing an oil or gas boiler, there are non means tested grants and loans available.

Questions

Yes, they do! Every heat pump we install can work effectively even in temperatures as low as -20°C. We customise each system to suit your home and specific needs, ensuring optimal performance throughout the year.

Yes, heat pumps are generally cheaper to run than oil, LPG, and direct electric heating. They can also be more cost-effective than gas when paired with smart tariffs, adequate insulation, and proper system design. The exact savings will depend on your current heating system, electricity prices, and the energy efficiency of your home.

In most cases, yes! Your home doesn’t need to meet new-build standards to benefit from a heat pump. We’ve successfully installed systems in homes over 150 years old. Every property is assessed individually, and if we believe a heat pump won’t work for you, we won’t recommend it.

The cost of installation varies depending on several factors, much like the cost of buying a new car. However, the Home Energy Scotland funding package of £15,000 (£7,500 grant + £7,500 interest-free loan) typically covers most of the installation costs. Contact us to discuss your specific circumstances for a tailored quote.

The cost of a solar panel and battery system can vary depending on factors such as the number of panels, the complexity of the installation, the specifications of the products, and the amount of battery storage you need. Typically, installations for solar panels with batteries start at around £11,000.

Yes, partially. Solar panels—especially when paired with battery storage—can significantly offset the running costs of your heat pump. However, during the winter months in Scotland, when daylight hours are shorter and sunlight is limited, your solar system will not generate enough energy to fully power your heat pump or electric heaters.

That said, you can still save money by charging your battery during off-peak hours when energy rates are lower (such as with tariffs like Octopus ‘Cosy’ or ‘Go’) and using that stored energy during more expensive tariff periods.
