Air-to-air heat pumps in Jedburgh: what to expect
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Jedburgh is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
A survey in Jedburgh covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across the Scottish Borders. Extensions and garden rooms in Jedburgh that are hard to connect to the main heating can have their own air-to-air unit.
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.
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
What's included
- 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
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
Flats in Jedburgh 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 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.

Designing for Jedburgh's winters
On the shortest day Jedburgh gets only about 7 hours 04 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 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 soon can you survey a home in Jedburgh?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in the Scottish Borders. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Jedburgh?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Jedburgh home gives a room-by-room list.
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.
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.
