Air-to-air heat pumps in Irvine
Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around. Homes in Irvine 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 Irvine for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. Irvine lies roughly 6 miles from Kilmarnock, and we cover it as part of Ayrshire. Homes in KA12 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Irvine
Budget around £2,695–£10,545 for 2–5 rooms including VAT for air-to-air heat pumps in and around Irvine. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Central and Southern Scotland tend to be. 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 Irvine (three or four rooms heated and cooled) usually comes to about £4,095–£6,845.

Living room and main bedroom on one outdoor unit.

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
Scotland has its own permitted development rules for heat pumps and outdoor units, with stricter treatment of listed buildings and conservation areas. We check the current position for your property with you and, if needed, with the council.
The survey
Surveys in Irvine cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
