In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating. Ducted systems suit Alloa loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway.
In an older house in Alloa, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Alloa is about 6 miles from Stirling and falls within our Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire coverage. Coverage includes FK10.

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
A survey in Alloa 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. Surveys in Alloa cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
