Air-to-air heat pumps across Fife
Homes in Dunfermline 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 Dunfermline for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not cover Scotland; Home Energy Scotland can tell you what support is available.
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
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. On a survey in Fife 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.
