Warm homes, clean streets, work worth doing.

Book a Home Heat Plan

Next-generation heating for Edinburgh and the Lothians' real buildings — measured before it's specified, installed without wrecking what already works.

(01) Why I do this

The neighbourhood my children inherit is made of ordinary decisions. The air on the street they walk down. What ends up in a skip. Who gets trained properly and who doesn't.

Every home in this country is going to be upgraded over the next twenty years. The only question is whether it's done well, and by whom.

Most installers start at "install". That's why so many heat pumps are oversized, overpriced and disappointing.

We measure your house first, improve the fabric with grant funding where it's available, and only then size the machine — which by that point is smaller, cheaper to buy and cheaper to run.

How it works

(04) Difficult installs

We were told it wasn't possible

Windows taken out and load-bearing platforms built to carry a heat pump across a roof that couldn't hold it. Planning won on applications others had abandoned. An indoor install where permission couldn't be obtained at all.

If you've been turned down, tell us what you were told.

no labels — the layout is the label.

(07) Clean air

The cleanest air on the street

A heat pump doesn't make heat. It moves it — drawing warmth out of the outside air and concentrating it into your home, typically delivering three to four units of heat for every unit of electricity it uses. It's the physics that keeps your fridge cold, run in reverse and made very good.

It runs on electricity, and Scotland's electricity gets cleaner every year without you doing a thing.

Multiply one home by a stair, a terrace, a whole school run, and you get streets where the air outside is as clean as the air we'd want our children breathing on the way to school.

Warmer inside. Cleaner outside. One upgrade doing both.
