An air-to-air heat pump takes heat from the outside air and releases it indoors as warm air — the same equipment as reverse-cycle air conditioning, sized and set up for heating.

We work across Dundee's postcode districts, including DD1. Nearby, we also cover St Andrews (about 18 km), Forfar (about 20 km) and Arbroath (about 26 km).

How a job in Dundee works
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer.
Design
Units are chosen for their heating output at low outdoor temperatures, not just their cooling rating.
Install
Outdoor units go where defrost water can drain safely and air flow is not restricted. In Dundee we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Local points to consider
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
Working hours
Most Dundee businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Who we work with in Dundee
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
Two rules matter for most businesses in Scotland: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for systems of 12 kW or more.

Do outdoor units ice up?
They frost in cold, damp weather and run short defrost cycles automatically. Drainage is planned so the water does not freeze on a path.
Can air conditioning really heat a building?
Yes. Reverse-cycle air conditioning is a heat pump. Sized for heating, it can be the main heat source for many commercial premises.
