Heating Systems — What You Are Replacing

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

If you are considering replacing your gas boiler with a heat pump, here is what you are moving away from. Modern gas combi and system boilers are efficient condensing appliances; a heat pump delivers several units of heat for every unit of electricity (COP 3-4). A new gas boiler costs GBP 1,800-3,500 installed. A heat pump costs more upfront. Finance available, subject to status. Gas remains the fastest fix for a broken boiler — but a heat pump is the long-term investment for Edinburgh homes.

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

Heating FAQ

Is a heat pump cheaper to run than my gas boiler in Edinburgh?
It depends on your property, insulation and tariff. A well-installed heat pump (COP 3-4) can compare well with a gas boiler on running costs, and for oil and LPG homes a heat pump can lower heating bills. Your survey report shows figures for your home.
Can I keep my existing radiators with a heat pump?
Often yes. Modern high-temperature heat pumps can work with existing radiators, though some may need upsizing for optimal efficiency. Your installer assesses each room during the survey. Underfloor heating delivers excellent heat pump performance but is not essential.
What happens if my boiler breaks — should I get a heat pump or replace it?
If you need heat urgently, a gas boiler replacement (2-5 days) is fastest. If you can manage for 2-4 weeks, a heat pump installation may be worth considering. Our partner can advise on the right path for your situation.
Do heat pumps work in Scottish winters?
Yes. Air-source heat pumps operate efficiently down to -15C and continue functioning to -20C. Edinburgh rarely experiences temperatures below -5C. Modern cold-climate heat pumps maintain COP 2.5+ even at -10C, delivering adequate heat throughout Scottish winters.
