Air Source Heat Pump FAQs
How do Air Source Heat Pumps work?
Do heat pumps work in cold Scottish weather?
Yes. Modern ASHPs are designed to operate efficiently in low temperatures, delivering reliable warmth even during winter conditions.
Are heat pumps expensive to run?
Typically, heat pumps offer lower running costs than oil, LPG or older gas boilers due to their high energy efficiency – especially when paired with smart controls and insulation improvements.
Can I get financial support or incentives?
ASHP installations are currently zero-rated for VAT, helping reduce upfront costs. We can also advise on available grants and local support where applicable.
Boiler Services FAQs
Do I need to service my boiler every year?
Yes – annual servicing keeps your system safe, efficient and compliant with manufacturer warranties. It can also prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
How do I know if my boiler needs replacing?
Common signs include frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, unusual noises, slow hot water and inconsistent heating. We offer free assessments to help you decide.
Are you Gas Safe® registered?
Yes. All work is carried out by fully Gas Safe® registered (971155) engineers – ensuring safety, compliance and peace of mind.
