Air source heat pump installation in Musselburgh from an MCS-certified engineer: sized to your heat loss, with the kit placed around the flood map and planning rules.
Four ageing radiators swapped for high-output units, three more added, and the 250L cylinder tucked into the basement. Result: a constant 21°C throughout the house at over 450% efficiency.
“We were told a property like ours couldn’t run on a heat pump. Aventus Eco proved everyone wrong.”
Penny & Monique, Mount Florida · Google review
Homeowners in Scotland can continue to claim £7,500 to £9,000 for a new heat pump. Our MCS- and Heat Geek-certified installs qualify for the maximum support.
“My gas bills are through the roof, and my house still isn’t warm.”
“Our street is on the flood map. Can the unit sit high enough to stay dry?”
“I’m nervous about choosing the wrong installer and wasting money.”
A heat pump costs less to run at a lower flow temperature, and larger radiators let it run lower. Every room is measured for heat loss before a heat pump installation in Musselburgh, and each radiator is sized from it ahead of choosing the unit.
Sean has put right heat pumps other companies installed, and he knows where they go wrong. Your design comes from measured numbers, and the company that fits your system services it.
• Esk and Firth flood risk. On an at-risk street, SEPA’s maps set the unit height and cylinder position.
• Inveresk and the town centre. Both conservation areas limit a wall-mounted unit to the back of the house at ground level.
Elsewhere a Musselburgh job replaces a gas boiler, as it does across our Edinburgh heat pump installations.
On a street at flood risk, SEPA’s maps set how high the unit sits and where the cylinder goes, and we check yours at the survey. The radiators and unit size come from each room’s heat loss.
Your written quote marks where each piece of kit goes, and the team mounts the unit at that height.
Larger radiators let the heat pump run at a lower flow temperature, which costs less to run.
Sean has put right heat pumps other companies installed, and he designs yours to avoid the same faults.
Up to £7,500 of Home Energy Scotland grant comes off the price, and an optional interest-free loan can cover more.
Scroll through the year: heat pump efficiency month by month on a Scottish install, dip included.
Every sceptical homeowner asks the same thing: what happens when it is minus three outside?
January costs more than July. The line shows it, because hiding the dip is how installers lose trust.
Even in the trough, one kilowatt in becomes about three kilowatts of heat. A gas boiler never clears one.
Radiators and flow temperature are sized at minus three, so the coldest week is already in the design.
One number sums the year up: every month averaged, measured on real installs, not promised in a brochure.

Penny and Monique’s 1920s Sandstone End-Terrace in Mount Florida, Glasgow
Penny and Monique live a stone’s throw from Hampden Stadium in a 1920s sandstone end-terrace, old, draughty and short on insulation, and had heard it would never work with a heat pump. Loco Home Retrofit, a community-led Glasgow co-op, introduced us.
Our heat loss survey produced one 7kW Vaillant aroTHERM plus at a 45°C flow. High-output models replaced four radiators, some over two decades old, three more went in, and we fixed poor plumbing an earlier installer left.
The 250L cylinder sits in a 1.2m-high basement, and every room holds 21°C across the seasons. On a Musselburgh street inside SEPA’s flood map, that basement is the first position we would question.
“Aventus Eco proved everyone wrong. The house is warm all the time, the new radiators look great.” Penny & Monique, Mount Florida, ★★★★★
Along the A1, our heat pump work in Haddington follows the same flood and planning checks.
Illustration of a typical installation
We calculate heat loss room by room, photograph the walls with a thermal camera, and check your flood-map status, conservation status and, on a recent house, the building warrant date.
The written quote marks where each piece of kit goes, beside the installed price, the Home Energy Scotland grant and your share.
The quote fixes start dates and the order of work. Our engineers remove the old boiler, mount the outdoor unit at the agreed height, install the cylinder and any radiators the survey called for, then commission and register the system with MCS.
You get the weather compensation curve set for your house and a walk through the controls and the app, and we show you how to lower the curve if the rooms hold more heat than you want.
Musselburgh and Wallyford addresses should fall in the standard Home Energy Scotland band: up to £7,500 towards an air source heat pump.
Our 2026 grant rules explainer sets out who qualifies for which rate.
It can change where things go. If SEPA’s flood maps show your Musselburgh street at risk, we factor that into the height of the outdoor unit and the positions of the cylinder, wiring centre and controls, and the quote shows each position.
Plan on £15,000 to £20,000 for a Musselburgh retrofit, less a Home Energy Scotland contribution of up to £7,500, so a typical job ends up at about £7,500 to £12,500. Larger Inveresk houses sit higher, and gas-heated Wallyford semis lower.
In Musselburgh’s two conservation areas, a unit fixed to your house avoids an application only on a ground-floor stretch of the back wall, and a listed house needs permission anywhere, as our planning explainer sets out. Elsewhere, one unit per building meeting the MCS Planning Standards is permitted development if it projects 1 metre or less or stands behind the front wall.
Ask us when you book. Sean has fixed heat pumps other companies installed, and a first look at a developer-fitted unit in Wallyford or Musselburgh covers the flow temperature, weather compensation and controls against how the house performs, the checks our servicing and maintenance guide explains.
Yes. Musselburgh sits at sea level on the Firth, and we size the heat pump to the design temperature for your street, using the real winter performance figures in our write-up of Scottish winter efficiency.
A Musselburgh address can get up to £7,500 in Home Energy Scotland grant; the £9,000 figure is kept for remote rural, island or off-gas accessible rural areas. An optional interest-free loan adds up to £7,500. Hybrids miss out, since HES wants the heat pump covering all heating and hot water, and a straight replacement gets loan funding only.
Yes, and the two share one survey, with the roof side covered on our Musselburgh solar panel page. Solar PV has no Home Energy Scotland grant or loan, but the panels are zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027 and earn Smart Export Guarantee payments on what you export.
Many will. The room-by-room calculation shows which Musselburgh radiators give enough heat at a lower flow temperature and which need upsizing, and the quote lists each change.
A few details is all it takes. We reply within one working day, with a real engineer, not a call centre.
We’ll assess your home, explain your options, and leave you to decide.
