Property stock in Merchiston
Large floor plates, original cast-iron radiators and high ceilings need careful kW sizing. Solid stone walls call for IWI rather than EWI; larger plots accept 12 kW monobloc air source heat pumps with the right acoustic siting.
Yes — most plots accept a 10–14 kW air source monobloc with acceptable acoustic siting. We run a full MCS heat-loss survey before any quote.
Can I keep my cast-iron radiators with a heat pump?
Usually yes for the larger Victorian rads; we upsize the 2–3 most-undersized emitters rather than replacing the lot.
How much is a full system boiler replacement in Merchiston?
£2,495 fitted for a like-for-like system boiler swap with new filter, flush and updated controls. Larger 30 kW+ specifications quoted at survey.
Are your engineers Gas Safe registered and vetted?
Every install and repair is delivered by a vetted partner Gas Safe registered engineer. We check ID, insurance and recent reviews before any engineer works under the Heatscape name.
Do you offer finance or spread-payment options?
Yes — 0% APR over 24 months and longer-term plans up to 10 years via our FCA-regulated finance partner, subject to status. We quote the full monthly cost upfront.
How is the price fixed — will there be extras on the day?
Every quote is fixed price, no hidden extras. Anything that could vary (gas riser upgrade, flue reroute, factor consent) is itemised on the quote before you sign.
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.
