Do heat pumps work in the Scottish climate?

Yes. Air source heat pumps take heat from the outside air and keep working in cold weather, including below freezing. A correctly sized system, based on a heat loss calculation for your home, is the key to good performance.

What is a heat loss calculation?

It works out how much heat each room loses, so the heat pump and radiators can be sized properly. A good installer carries this out before giving you a final quote.

Will I need new radiators?

Sometimes. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so some rooms may need larger radiators. The heat loss calculation shows which rooms, if any, need changing.

Do I need a hot water cylinder?

Most heat pump systems use a hot water cylinder. If you currently have a combi boiler, your quote will allow space for a cylinder.

Is planning permission needed?

Many air source heat pumps on houses fall under permitted development, but there are conditions and exceptions, for example in conservation areas or on listed buildings. Your installer will check this for your property.
