Air-to-air heat pumps in Kelso
Homes in Kelso on electric, oil or LPG heating are the ones most likely to benefit from an air-to-air heat pump. Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows.
We size every heat pump in Kelso for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. Kelso is about 15 miles from Galashiels and falls within our Scottish Borders coverage. Homes in TD5 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Kelso
In Central and Southern Scotland, our guide range for air-to-air heat pumps is £2,695–£10,545 for 2–5 rooms, including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Central and Southern Scotland tend to be. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. For reference, the Small home option in Kelso (three or four rooms heated and cooled) usually comes to about £4,095–£6,845.

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
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 Kelso 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.
