Air-to-air heat pumps in Aberdeen
Here, heat pumps are sized for low winter temperatures and exposed sites. Homes in Aberdeen on electric, oil or LPG heating are the ones most likely to benefit from an air-to-air heat pump.
We size every heat pump in Aberdeen for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. We cover Aberdeen and the rest of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including Peterhead and Banchory. Homes in AB10, AB11, AB12, AB13, AB15 and 3 more are all within our coverage.
Prices in Aberdeen
Air-to-air heat pumps in Aberdeen typically come in at £2,645–£10,195 for 2–5 rooms including VAT, based on Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland rates. Labour rates in the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland keep this slightly under the national middle. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. For reference, the Small home option in Aberdeen (three or four rooms heated and cooled) usually comes to about £3,945–£6,645.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
Outdoor units on Scottish homes can often be installed without a planning application, but the conditions differ from England's, so we confirm the rules for your property at survey.
The survey
Surveys in Aberdeen cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. On a survey in Aberdeen the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
