How a job in Stirling works
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer. For sites in Stirling we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Points to plan for in Stirling
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Stirling are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Types of premises we cover in Stirling
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
Common questions from businesses in Stirling
How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Stirling?

Do you also cover Alloa, Falkirk and Grangemouth?
Yes. Alongside Stirling, we also cover Alloa, Falkirk and Grangemouth. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Stirling?
All of them, including AB42 and FK8. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Is it cheaper than electric heaters?
In most cases, yes. A heat pump delivers several kWh of heat per kWh of electricity, while panel heaters deliver one. Actual savings depend on the system, building and tariff.
Will we still need other heating?
Often not, but in some buildings a small back-up for the coldest days is sensible. We advise at survey.
