Heating Options Across Edinburgh and the Lothians

Gas, oil, LPG, heat pump and electric heating options — all delivered by our accredited installer partner

Most Edinburgh city-centre and suburban properties (EH1-EH17) sit on the mains gas network supplied via SPEN (SP Distribution). Gas boiler upgrades are straightforward — a modern A-rated condensing combi or system boiler from Worcester Bosch, Baxi or Glow-Worm costs GBP 1,800-3,500 installed and delivers immediate efficiency improvements. East Lothian, Midlothian and West Lothian towns (EH18-EH55) are largely on-gas too, though rural edges may rely on oil or LPG. Gas boiler replacements remain the fastest solution when an existing boiler fails.

Heating installations are carried out by our Gas Safe registered partner, Home Heating Services (Scotland) Ltd — Gas Safe 559575, MCS IAA10151, HIES.

Heating FAQ

What heating systems are available across Edinburgh postcodes?
Central Edinburgh (EH1-EH17) is largely on mains gas, with heat pumps and electric heating also available. Rural EH postcodes (EH18-EH55 fringes) often rely on oil or LPG. All areas can access heat pumps.
Who is the DNO for Edinburgh and the Lothians?
SP Energy Networks (SPEN / SP Distribution) manages the electricity distribution network across Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian and West Lothian. Heat pump installations typically require no network upgrade for standard domestic properties in this area.
Can Edinburgh tenement flats get new heating systems?
Yes. Edinburgh tenement flats suit electric heating (ceramic radiators, infrared panels, electric boilers) which require no external gas flue or outdoor heat pump unit. Some ground-floor or top-floor flats may accommodate heat pumps with factoring consent. All installations comply with Edinburgh planning requirements.
Is oil or LPG heating common in the Edinburgh area?
Oil and LPG are common in rural and semi-rural areas beyond the Edinburgh city boundary — parts of East Lothian, Midlothian, West Lothian and the Borders. These off-gas homes are priority candidates for heat pump upgrades.
Who installs heating across Edinburgh and the Lothians?
Our partner Home Heating Services (Scotland) Ltd covers Edinburgh and the wider Lothian area (Gas Safe 559575). We install through MCS-certified partners. All EH postcodes served.

FAQ

Areas we cover: common questions

Do you install solar panels in Edinburgh and the Lothians?

Yes. We install through MCS-certified partners who cover Edinburgh and the Lothians and every EH postcode. Tell us your postcode and we match you with partners who work in your street, so the surveyor is local and knows the housing stock.

Can I add a battery to my existing solar panels?

Yes, in most cases. A battery can be added to an existing solar system using either an AC-coupled battery or a hybrid inverter. The survey checks your current inverter, fuse board and space so the quote covers exactly what your home needs.

Is finance available?

Finance available, subject to status. Your written quote can show the cash price and the finance option side by side so you can choose what suits you.
