Storage and electric heater replacement in Dunblane
In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating. Flats and bungalows in Dunblane that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters.
For Dunblane landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. Our Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire coverage takes in Dunblane, about 5 miles from Stirling. That includes the FK15 postcode district.

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
A survey in Dunblane 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. 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.
