Types of Heat Pumps We Install
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps extract warmth from the outside air, even in cold temperatures, and use it to heat your home and hot water. They are easier to install than ground source systems and require less space, making them ideal for most properties in Dumfries.
These systems work efficiently in the Scottish climate and are the most popular choice for homeowners making the switch to renewable heating.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps harness heat from the earth via buried pipes. While they require more extensive installation work, they offer exceptional efficiency and are incredibly reliable even during the coldest Dumfries winters.
These systems are perfect for larger properties with available garden space and provide the highest efficiency of any heat pump type over the long term.
Hybrid Heat Pump Systems
Hybrid systems combine a heat pump with a traditional boiler for maximum flexibility. They automatically switch between the heat pump and boiler depending on which is most efficient at any given time.
This option offers an excellent stepping stone for homeowners who want to embrace renewable heating while maintaining the security of a familiar heating system.

Heat Pump Installation FAQs
A heat pump transfers heat energy from one location to another for heating or cooling purposes. It works by using a small amount of energy to move heat from a cold source to a warm destination, effectively pumping heat from one place to another. Even when it feels cold outside, there’s still heat energy present that the heat pump can extract and amplify to warm your home efficiently.
Heat pumps offer multiple benefits: significantly lower energy bills compared to traditional systems, reduced carbon emissions, consistent year-round comfort, minimal maintenance requirements, potential for cooling in summer months, and eligibility for substantial government grants making them more affordable than ever before.
Heat pumps are remarkably efficient, typically delivering 3-4 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity used. This efficiency is measured by the Coefficient of Performance (CoP). In Dumfries’ climate, we typically see CoPs between 3.0-4.5 depending on the system type and outdoor temperatures.
Annual savings vary depending on your current heating system, home insulation, and energy usage patterns. However, most households in Dumfries see savings of £300-£900 per year compared to oil heating, and increasingly competitive savings compared to gas as energy prices continue to rise.
Yes, professional heat pump installers must be MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) certified. This ensures installations meet strict quality standards. Our team at Heating Care Dumfries holds all required certifications to install and maintain your system properly, which is also essential for accessing government grants.
