Air-to-air heat pumps in Rothesay
Homes in Rothesay on electric, oil or LPG heating are the ones most likely to benefit from an air-to-air heat pump. Here, heat pumps are sized for low winter temperatures and exposed sites.
We size every heat pump in Rothesay for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. We cover Rothesay as part of Argyll and Bute. We cover PA20 and the streets around them.
Prices in Rothesay
Our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland guide price for air-to-air heat pumps is £2,645–£10,195 for 2–5 rooms, VAT included. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. On our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland figures, the Small home option (three or four rooms heated and cooled) is about £3,945–£6,645. Travel, ferry or accommodation costs for Rothesay are not in these figures. They are quoted to you as a fixed amount in writing before you book.

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
Where travel is involved, we agree the survey arrangements and any travel cost up front. On the day, the engineer measures the rooms, checks the electrics and agrees the outdoor unit position with you. In Rothesay we often start with photos, room measurements and the make of any existing system, so the survey visit is focused and any travel cost can be quoted in writing first.
