Gretna's Dedicated Heat Pump Installation Specialists
Here at Heating Care Dumfries, we've been installing heat pump systems for Gretna residents for over a decade. As a team of local engineer's who've worked extensively throughout the border town, We've gained invaluable insight into the specific heating challenges Gretna properties face, particularly in the older cottages and newer developments that make up this historic town.
Our team understands Gretna's unique position as Scotland's gateway town and how its exposure to border weather patterns affects heating requirements year-round. Our solutions are specifically designed to handle these local conditions efficiently.


Why Heat Pumps Are Ideal for Gretna Homes
Gretna's proximity to the Solway Firth creates specific heating conditions that heat pumps are exceptionally well-suited to address:
Exceptional Performance in Gretna's Mild Coastal Climate
The relatively mild climate around Gretna makes it an ideal location for air source heat pumps, which maintain excellent efficiency even during cooler periods. Having installed dozens of systems throughout the area, we've consistently seen exceptional performance metrics.
Perfect for Gretna's Mix of Property Types
Whether you own one of Gretna's charming traditional cottages or a more modern property in the newer developments, we've successfully fitted heat pumps to virtually every type of home in the area, with customized solutions for each.
Significant Savings for Border Residents
Many Gretna customers report savings of £600-£1,000 annually compared to oil heating systems, which have been common in the area. The border location means you can also access Scottish funding advantages.
Reduce Your Environmental Impact
