Air-to-air heat pumps for North Berwick homes
Homes around North Berwick range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Extensions and garden rooms in North Berwick that are hard to connect to the main heating can have their own air-to-air unit. Installers in North Berwick 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.
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
- Households that already have, or will add, a separate source of hot water
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
What's included
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
A survey in North Berwick covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
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 North Berwick home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.
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.

On the shortest day North Berwick gets only about 6 hours 56 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 11° 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 North Berwick: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a North Berwick house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your North Berwick home.
How long does installation take in North Berwick?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a North Berwick home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in North Berwick that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in North Berwick, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
Can air-to-air heat pumps cool as well as heat?
Yes. Most air-to-air systems can reverse their cycle to cool and dehumidify rooms in summer, which makes them useful for loft rooms, south-facing extensions and home offices that overheat. Cooling uses electricity, so running costs rise if it is used heavily. You control heating and cooling for each room separately.
