How quickly can an engineer attend a boiler repair in Edinburgh?
Same day across all EH postcodes if you book before 2pm, next morning after that. Out-of-hours attendance is available after 6pm and at weekends at the £140 rate. Vulnerable households and no-heat calls in winter are prioritised.
How much does a boiler repair cost in Edinburgh?
Heatscape charges a fixed £95 diagnostic across every EH postcode, deducted in full from any repair carried out on the same visit. Out of hours (after 6pm and weekends) is £140. Most common repairs land between £120 and £420 all-in including parts and labour. If a repair would cost more than about £600 on a boiler over 10 years old, we quote a like-for-like replacement at £2,295 instead.
Do you offer fixed-price boiler repairs?
Yes. The diagnostic is a fixed £95 and every repair is quoted in writing before any work starts. There are no parking charges, no congestion fees, no inspection levies and no hourly overruns added afterwards.
Do you charge extra for the Edinburgh city centre or congestion areas?
No. One price across every EH postcode — no parking surcharge in the New Town, no access levy for Old Town closes, no zone loading for Leith or Portobello.
I am off the gas grid in Balerno — what are my options?
An air source heat pump with a hot-water cylinder is usually the strongest option, supported by the £7,500 Home Energy Scotland grant.
How long does a heat pump install take?
Typically 3-5 days including cylinder, radiator changes and commissioning.
Quoted on Monday, fitted by Friday. Fixed price, no surprises, and the engineer cleaned up better than I did. House is finally warm in the upstairs bedrooms.

Tenement flue routing was a nightmare with the last quote we got. Heatscape actually solved it and dealt with the factor for us. Damp gone too.
