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.
Will a heat pump work in a Blackford stone villa?
Yes, with fabric work first. Typical spec is a 10-14 kW monobloc with upsized radiators after loft, floor and selective internal wall insulation.
How much is the heat pump grant?
£7,500 from Home Energy Scotland, plus an interest-free loan for the balance, subject to eligibility and an MCS-registered partner install.
