Our coverage in Fife runs from Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes and Burntisland and the villages around them. The approach is the same everywhere: survey, design, a written quote, then installation by installers working under our contract.

Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Fife 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 property at survey.

Questions
What warranty comes with a heat pump?
A new heat pump comes with a manufacturer warranty, which passes to you, and the length depends on the make and model. Our workmanship guarantee is set out in writing in your quote. Manufacturer warranties usually depend on the system being registered and serviced as the manufacturer requires, so keep your handover pack, MCS certificate and service records together. We explain the warranty conditions for your chosen unit before you accept the quote.
How long does an air source heat pump last?
An air source heat pump typically lasts 15–20 years, depending on the model, how it is used and how well it is maintained. Annual servicing helps it run efficiently and is often a condition of the manufacturer warranty. Parts such as pumps, sensors and fans can be replaced during its life. When an outdoor unit reaches the end of its life, a like-for-like replacement is a guide price of £6,000–£9,500, installed and including VAT.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Whether you need new radiators depends on each room's heat loss: some homes need a few larger radiators, while others can keep most of their existing ones. Heat pumps run most efficiently at low flow temperatures, around 35–50°C, so a radiator gives out less heat than it did with a boiler. The room-by-room heat loss calculation shows which rooms need a bigger radiator. A replacement radiator sized for a heat pump is a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT.
Does my electricity network operator need to know about a heat pump?
Your installer notifies the electricity network operator about your heat pump where this is required, so you do not need to arrange it yourself. The network operator runs the cables and substations that supply your home, and the notification lets it confirm the local supply can handle the added load. We check your incoming supply and main fuse at survey and explain anything that affects the installation before work starts.
