Air-to-air heat pumps for Blairgowrie homes
In Blairgowrie, 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.
Top-floor rooms in Blairgowrie that overheat in summer gain from the cooling an air-to-air system provides. A survey in Blairgowrie covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across Perth and Kinross.
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.
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
What's included
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- 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
Flats in Blairgowrie 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 Blairgowrie 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.
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 Blairgowrie property at survey.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Blairgowrie: questions
Do you cover Perth as well as Blairgowrie?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Perth, which is about 14 miles south of Blairgowrie, and across Perth and Kinross.
How long does installation take in Blairgowrie?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Blairgowrie home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Blairgowrie that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Blairgowrie, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
