Air source heat pump installation in Jedburgh: what to expect
In Jedburgh, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
In Jedburgh, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage. Homeowners across the Scottish Borders can arrange a survey in Jedburgh 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.
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
What's included
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
Many homes in Jedburgh have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Jedburgh can apply to Home Energy Scotland for a grant of up to £7,500 towards a heat pump, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, plus an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. You need a written funding offer before any work starts.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK, Scotland included, until 31 March 2027. Scottish permitted development rules and building standards apply, and the surveyor checks the unit position and any listed or conservation-area constraints.
Guide prices for air source heat pump installation in Jedburgh
These are guide prices for the Scottish Borders, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

Air source heat pump installation in Jedburgh: questions
Do you cover Kelso as well as Jedburgh?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Kelso, which is about 9 miles north-east of Jedburgh, and across the Scottish Borders.
How long does installation take in Jedburgh?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Jedburgh home states the expected time.
What size heat pump does a Jedburgh home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Jedburgh home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not always; many homes keep most of their radiators and change only a few. Because a heat pump runs at a lower water temperature than a boiler, each radiator gives out less heat, so the survey checks every room against its heat loss. Rooms where the existing radiator falls short get a larger one, with a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT.
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.
