Collection: Heat Pumps
Heat Pump Systems for Scottish Homes & Businesses
Heat pumps are one of the most efficient heating technologies available today — delivering up to 4 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity consumed. For Scottish homeowners looking to move away from gas or oil heating, a heat pump is one of the smartest long-term investments you can make.
Scottish Energy Saving designs and installs premium air source and ground source heat pump systems across Scotland, with full MCS accreditation and access to government incentive schemes.
Why Choose a Heat Pump?
- Highly efficient — 300–400% efficiency compared to 100% for electric heating
- Replaces gas or oil boilers — future-proof your home against fossil fuel price rises
- Solar compatible — run your heat pump from solar panels for near-zero heating costs
- Eligible for government incentives — access the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and other grants
- Heating and hot water — one system for all your home's thermal needs
- Low carbon — significantly reduces your home's carbon footprint
- Long lifespan — heat pumps typically last 20+ years with minimal maintenance
- Works in Scottish winters — modern heat pumps operate efficiently down to -20°C
Air Source vs Ground Source Heat Pumps
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) extract heat from outside air and are suitable for most Scottish properties. They require minimal groundwork and can be installed in one to two days.
Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) extract heat from the ground via buried pipes and offer even higher efficiency, ideal for properties with sufficient outdoor space.
Solar + Heat Pump: The Ultimate Combination
Pair your heat pump with a solar PV system and battery storage from Scottish Energy Saving and dramatically reduce your heating costs. Run your heat pump from free solar electricity during the day and stored battery power in the evening.
