Before you book: air-to-air heat pumps in Dundee
Every property in Dundee is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
A survey in Dundee covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across Angus and Dundee. Installers in Dundee plan condensate drains and pipe covers so indoor and outdoor runs stay neat.
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.
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
What's included
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
Flats in Dundee on storage or panel heaters can often switch to air-to-air without fitting radiators or pipework.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Dundee 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Dundee
On the shortest day Dundee gets only about 6 hours 50 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 10° up at noon. Long Scottish winters mean the heat pump runs for much of the year, so careful sizing, good controls and correctly sized radiators make a real difference.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Dundee: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Dundee?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Angus and Dundee. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does installation take in Dundee?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Dundee home states the expected time.
Do you cover Monifieth as well as Dundee?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Monifieth, which is about 6 miles east of Dundee, and across Angus and Dundee.
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 much sound do the indoor units make?
Indoor units are designed to run quietly, with a fan you will hear most when heating or cooling at full output. Lower fan settings and night modes reduce sound in bedrooms. Siting matters for the outdoor unit too: it needs airflow and a position that passes the MCS noise assessment. Ask to see the sound levels of the proposed units at survey.
