Air-to-air heat pumps in Livingston
Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around. Homes in Livingston 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 Livingston for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. We cover Livingston as part of Edinburgh and the Lothians, roughly 13 miles from Edinburgh. Homes in EH54 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Livingston
Budget around £2,695–£10,545 for 2–5 rooms including VAT for air-to-air heat pumps in and around Livingston. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Central and Southern Scotland tend to be. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the Small home option (three or four rooms heated and cooled) would typically be £4,095–£6,845 here.
Two rooms
Living room and main bedroom on one outdoor unit.
Small home
Three or four rooms heated and cooled.
Whole home
Five or more rooms, sized to replace the existing heating.

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
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. A survey in Livingston usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
