MCS-certified heat pump installation in Roslin, sized room by room for sandstone villas and newer estate houses, with the grant your address qualifies for set out in the quote.
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.”

A new heat pump in Scotland can still attract £7,500 to £9,000 of HES grant, and our MCS- and Heat Geek-certified installs meet its rules.
“My gas bills are through the roof, and my house still isn’t warm.”
“Our stone house sits up high and catches the wind. Can a heat pump keep up?”
“I’m nervous about choosing the wrong installer and wasting money.”
Solid stone walls and a draughty hall let heat out fast, and radiators sized for a hot gas boiler fall short at heat pump temperatures. On a heat pump installation in Roslin we measure every room’s heat loss and size each radiator to match.
Each room’s figure is in your quote before you sign, so anyone you ask can check the design. After handover, the company that fitted the system answers your calls.
• Mostly outside the conservation area. It covers the south-east of the village, Rosslyn Chapel and the Glen, so most homes keep permitted development rights.
• Off the gas grid? HES pays up to £9,000 for off-gas homes in areas it classes as rural, and an advisor confirms your address.
Seven miles north, our Edinburgh heat pump installations start from the same room-by-room survey.
A Victorian villa on Penicuik Road and a newer house at the north edge of the village lose heat in different ways. You see the radiator list and the unit position for yours before you sign.
We check every radiator against its room’s heat loss and upsize the ones that fall short at a low flow temperature.
Roslin sits above the River North Esk, so we size the unit to the design temperature for your address.
We check the conservation area boundary and any listing before marking where the unit goes.
Up to £7,500 from HES, or £9,000 for an off-gas home it classes as rural, plus an optional 0% loan.
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.

Mount Florida, Glasgow: a 1920s End-Terrace at 21°C in Every Room
A stone’s throw from Hampden Stadium, Penny and Monique’s sandstone end-terrace was draughty and short on insulation, and the people they asked had written it off for a heat pump. Loco Home Retrofit, a Glasgow co-op pairing homeowners with vetted installers, introduced us.
The heat loss figures called for a 7kW Vaillant aroTHERM plus at a 45°C flow. Four radiators became high-output models and three more went in, two of them in a rear extension we treated as its own room.
A 250L cylinder sits in the 1.2m-high basement, and the house stays at 21°C all year. A sandstone villa on Penicuik Road, or a newer semi on the edge of Roslin, gets the same method.

On the city side of the bypass, heat pump installations in Liberton use the same survey.
Illustration of a typical installation
We measure each room, run a thermal camera over the walls and find space for the outdoor unit, pipe route and cylinder. In Roslin we also check the conservation area boundary and whether the house is listed.
Your quote puts the installed price, the HES grant and the balance you pay on one page.
The quote fixes the dates and the order of work. On site we remove the old boiler, fix the outdoor unit in the spot agreed at survey, fit the cylinder and any bigger radiators, commission to the design figures and register the system with MCS.
At handover we set the weather compensation curve for your house, show you the controls and app, and explain how to lower the curve if a room runs warmer than you want.
A Roslin home on mains gas qualifies for the standard HES heat pump grant of up to £7,500.
HES needs our quote and MCS paperwork for your application, and our breakdown of what drives the price itemises each cost.
Our 2026 heat pump grants guide sets out who qualifies and how the loan is repaid.
Yes. We size a Roslin heat pump to the design temperature for your address and measure every room and window first. Penny and Monique’s draughty 1920s end-terrace holds 21°C in every room year-round on a 7kW unit.
Expect £15,000 to £20,000 installed in Roslin. Take off up to £7,500 of Home Energy Scotland grant and most jobs land around £7,500 to £12,500. The number of radiators to upsize and where the cylinder goes move the price most, and your quote itemises both.
Roslin’s conservation area covers the south-east of the village, Rosslyn Chapel and Roslin Glen. Inside it, a wall-fixed unit belongs on the rear wall at ground floor, and a listed building needs consent wherever it stands. Elsewhere, one unit per building that meets the MCS Planning Standards is permitted development, as our Scottish planning rules guide sets out.
On the coldest days, a little. Roslin sits on high ground above the River North Esk, so we take the design temperature for your address, size the unit and radiators to it, and keep the outdoor unit out of the strongest wind.
Usually a few, most often in the larger rooms of the older stone houses. The room-by-room calculation shows which radiators in your Roslin home fall short at a low flow temperature, and our radiator sizing walkthrough explains how we pick each replacement.
On mains gas, a Roslin home can get up to £7,500 from Home Energy Scotland. Off the gas grid, ask HES about the £9,000 rural rate: an advisor confirms each address. The optional £7,500 loan is open either way. Hybrids get no grant, and a replacement heat pump gets the loan alone.
We do. Our heat pump servicing team books an annual visit for every system we fit in Roslin and the villages around it, and looks after systems other installers fitted as well.
Yes, and a single survey can cover both. Our Roslin solar panel page deals with the roof side. Solar PV gets no Home Energy Scotland grant or loan, so the saving comes from 0% VAT on panels until 31 March 2027 and Smart Export Guarantee payments.
Leave a few details and an engineer, never a call centre, gets back to you within one working day.
We’ll look at your house, talk you through the options and leave the decision with you.
