Homes in Keith on electric, oil or LPG heating are the ones most likely to benefit from an air-to-air heat pump. Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus.
We size every heat pump in Keith for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. Keith is about 16 miles from Elgin and falls within our Moray coverage. Homes in AB55 are all within our coverage.

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
In Scotland, planning conditions for outdoor units depend on the property type and location; conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care.
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. On a survey in Keith 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.
