Heating Georgian and Victorian Properties in Edinburgh's West End
That age and construction type creates specific heating challenges. Stone walls hold cold. High-ceilinged rooms need more energy to heat. Many West End flats still run on ageing gas boilers sized for a different era: short cycling, high flow temperatures, and uneven warmth across rooms. For many of these homeowners, a heat pump is the most effective boiler replacement available.
The West End sits on some of Edinburgh’s most architecturally significant housing stock. Tall stone-built townhouses line Melville Street, Walker Street, and Palmerston Place. High ceilings, thick stone walls, sash-and-case windows, original cornicing. These features define the area. Most properties here date from the early-to-mid 1800s, built as part of Edinburgh’s westward New Town expansion.
At Aventus Eco, we design air source heat pump systems specifically around how a building actually loses heat. That means room-by-room heat loss calculations, radiator output checks at low flow temperatures, and system commissioning tailored to the property. Not a boiler swap. A proper design.
Whether your property is a converted Georgian townhouse off Shandwick Place, a flat overlooking Drumsheugh Gardens, or a Victorian terrace near Haymarket, a correctly designed air heat pump can deliver steady, even warmth at lower running costs than gas. Our systems also pair well with underfloor heating, which suits heat pump flow temperatures and provides an even heat distribution across larger rooms.

From £600/Month to £24.79: Christine’s Solar, Battery & Heat Pump Transformation in Gartcosh
When Christine’s family contacted Aventus Eco, some months their electricity bill alone was hitting £600. They already had an air source heat pump, but it had never been set up correctly, running inefficiently and consuming far more electricity than necessary.
We installed a 10.5 kWp black bifacial solar PV array paired with 20.8 kWh battery storage, then fully optimised the existing heat pump: corrected flow temperature settings, rebalanced the system, and adjusted controls. The result: monthly bills dropped from £600 to £24.79. Most months, 100% of daily electricity needs are met by solar and stored battery power.
For West End homeowners already running a heat pump, or considering one alongside solar, Christine’s project shows what happens when the full system is designed and optimised together, not piecemeal.
“We’ve had very attentive customer service from Sean, and are very happy with the outcome of the installation of solar panels & batteries. We are also grateful for his knowledge and input into adjusting our heat pump and currently our bills are massively reduced. Being able to text Sean at any time to ask a question and get a helpful reply within a reasonable amount of time has been a very important aspect to me of the service before and after installation. I would recommend Aventus Eco.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do air source heat pumps work in West End, Edinburgh?
Yes. Modern air source heat pumps are engineered to perform efficiently in Scottish winters, including Edinburgh’s coldest months. Our systems routinely deliver over 400% efficiency even when temperatures drop well below freezing. West End properties with their solid stone construction retain heat well once a system is correctly sized, making them strong candidates for heat pump performance.
How much does an air source heat pump cost in West End, Edinburgh?
Installation costs depend on the size of your property, heat loss, radiator requirements, and system configuration. Typical costs in West End, Edinburgh range from £8,000 to £15,000 before grants. With Home Energy Scotland funding of up to £7,500, the net cost drops significantly. We provide a full written quote after surveying your property, not generic estimates.
What heat pump grants are available in West End, Edinburgh?
West End homeowners can apply for up to £7,500 through Home Energy Scotland (or up to £9,000 in qualifying rural areas). Interest-free loans are also available. Aventus Eco handles the full grant application process for you: eligibility checks, paperwork, and submission.
Do you provide heat pump servicing and maintenance in West End, Edinburgh?
Yes. Aventus Eco provides ongoing servicing and maintenance for heat pumps across West End, Edinburgh. Regular annual servicing keeps your system running efficiently, protects your manufacturer warranty, and catches small issues before they become expensive problems. We offer dedicated maintenance plans and are available for call-outs when needed.
Can an air source heat pump replace my boiler in West End, Edinburgh?
Yes. A heat pump fully replaces your gas or oil boiler for both space heating and hot water. If you currently have a combi boiler, a hot water cylinder is added. Existing pipework usually stays in place. Boiler replacement with a heat pump is a straightforward process when properly surveyed and designed. We confirm what changes are needed and whether your current radiators are sufficient.
Can an air source heat pump work with radiators or underfloor heating in West End, Edinburgh?
Yes, both. Many West End properties already have large radiators that work well at heat pump flow temperatures. We assess every radiator against each room’s heat loss and only upgrade where output falls short. Heat pumps also pair well with underfloor heating, which operates at low temperatures and provides even warmth across rooms. Aventus Eco designs and installs both radiator-based and underfloor heating systems alongside heat pumps.
How long does an air source heat pump installation take in West End, Edinburgh?
Most heat pump installations in West End, Edinburgh take 2–4 days. This includes fitting the outdoor unit, connecting pipework, installing a hot water cylinder where needed, and upgrading radiators in rooms where heat loss demands it. We provide a clear schedule upfront and keep disruption to a minimum.
Are hybrid heat pumps available in West End, Edinburgh?
Yes. A hybrid heat pump combines a heat pump with an existing gas boiler, allowing the system to switch between the two based on efficiency and outdoor temperature. This can be a practical option for West End properties where a full boiler replacement isn’t yet feasible. Aventus Eco can assess whether a hybrid setup or a full heat pump system is the better fit for your home during a free survey.
Are heat pumps noisy?
Modern air source heat pumps are quiet. Most outdoor units operate at around 40–50 dB, comparable to a fridge. Our team positions the unit carefully to minimise any noise impact, particularly important in the terraced and semi-detached layouts common across West End, Edinburgh.
Can I combine a heat pump with solar panels in West End, Edinburgh?
Yes. A heat pump paired with solar PV and battery storage allows you to generate your own electricity and use it to power your heating. This significantly reduces grid dependence and further lowers running costs. Aventus Eco designs and installs both systems as a combined package.
If you want both handled together, start with the heat pump and solar package in Scotland.
