Air source heat pump installation for Huntly homes
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Huntly is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Many homes in Huntly have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows. Homeowners across Aberdeenshire and Moray can arrange a survey in Huntly for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
We survey your home, design a heat pump system around its real heat loss, and manage the installation from the first visit to the MCS certificate.
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
In Huntly, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
In Scotland, heat pump funding comes through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £1,500 extra for eligible rural and island homes) and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. For a Huntly home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Scotland has its own permitted development rules for air source heat pumps and its own building standards, so we confirm what applies to your Huntly property at survey.

Designing for Huntly's winters
Huntly has about 6 hours 36 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 18 hours 01 minutes in midsummer. Heat pumps are designed to keep working well below freezing, but the design temperature for the survey is set for local conditions, not an average day.

Air source heat pump installation in Huntly: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Huntly that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Huntly, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Huntly?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Aberdeenshire and Moray. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does installation take in Huntly?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Huntly home states the expected time.
Will an air source heat pump be noisy?
Heat pumps are designed to run quietly, but where the unit sits makes a real difference. The survey looks for a position away from bedroom windows and neighbours, with clear airflow, and the installation must pass the MCS noise assessment. The fan is most noticeable on very cold days when the unit works hardest, and a little vapour during the periodic defrost is normal.
Can I cancel after accepting the quote?
Nothing is ordered until you accept the written quote. Where the contract is agreed away from our premises, for example at your kitchen table, you can cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you ask us to start sooner and then cancel, you pay only for work done up to that point.
