Before you book: air-to-air heat pumps in Stonehaven
Homes around Stonehaven range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
A survey in Stonehaven covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across Aberdeenshire and Moray. For terraced homes in Stonehaven, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room.
An air-to-air heat pump warms rooms directly with air, and can cool them in summer, but it does not heat your hot water.
- Households that already have, or will add, a separate source of hot water
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
What's included
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
Top-floor rooms in Stonehaven that overheat in summer gain from the cooling an air-to-air system provides.
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 Stonehaven 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 Stonehaven property at survey.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Stonehaven: questions
Do you cover Portlethen as well as Stonehaven?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Portlethen, which is about 7 miles north-east of Stonehaven, and across Aberdeenshire and Moray.
What size heat pump does a Stonehaven 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 Stonehaven home.
How long does installation take in Stonehaven?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Stonehaven home states the expected time.
Can an air-to-air heat pump heat my water?
No. An air-to-air heat pump heats and cools the air in rooms but does not produce hot water. You need a separate source, such as an existing immersion cylinder, a hot water heat pump or an electric water heater. If you want one system for heating and hot water, an air-to-water heat pump with a cylinder is the alternative.
How do I look after an air-to-air system?
Clean the indoor unit filters regularly, typically every few weeks during heavy use and following the manufacturer's guidance, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and snow. Annual servicing is recommended and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty. Any work on the refrigerant circuit must be done by an F-gas certified engineer.
