Quick answer
A hybrid heat pump alongside your existing boiler cuts fuel costs for farms, holiday lets, hotels, and commercial premises across Scotland. Solar PV and battery storage can be added to reduce running costs further. A no-obligation survey confirms what your building needs.
Key facts
Last updated: 28 October 2026
Many Scottish businesses and farms heat with oil or LPG — among the most expensive fuels available. A hybrid system lets a heat pump handle most of the annual load while keeping your boiler as backup for the coldest days. This page explains who it suits, what we install, and how the process works.

Who it is for
What we install
Running costs
Running costs for a commercial hybrid system depend on several factors. The survey measures your building's heat loss and compares it against what a heat pump can deliver at lower flow temperatures. No two premises are the same — the factors below explain what drives the numbers. For a wider view of heat pump options for Scottish businesses, see Heat Pump Quotes Scotland.

How it works
A surveyor visits your premises to measure heat loss for each space, inspect insulation and pipework, assess the outdoor unit location, and confirm electrical capacity. You receive a written report with a proposed system design.
We design a hybrid system tailored to your building's heat loss and usage patterns. The proposal includes the system specification, any radiator or pipework changes, and a project timeline. Nothing proceeds until you approve the design.
Installation is carried out by qualified engineers through our MCS-certified partners. The system is commissioned on completion, including controller setup, balancing, and testing the hot water cycle.
We provide aftercare support after installation, including guidance on operating the system efficiently and arranging annual servicing through our partners.
Yes, if the building has adequate insulation and a wet radiator or underfloor circuit. The survey measures heat loss for each space and confirms whether a hybrid heat pump alongside your existing boiler will meet the demand. Stone walls and high ceilings may need insulation upgrades first.
Holiday lets and hotels suit hybrid systems well because demand fluctuates with occupancy. The heat pump handles baseline heating efficiently, and the boiler steps in during peak occupancy or the coldest days. This avoids oversizing a single heat source while keeping running costs predictable.
Oil and LPG are among the most expensive heating fuels in Scotland. A hybrid heat pump can handle most of the annual load, cutting fuel deliveries significantly. The boiler remains as backup for the coldest periods, so you keep reliability while reducing your dependence on delivered fuel.
Yes. Solar PV generates electricity that can power the heat pump during daylight hours, and battery storage shifts that energy to evening use. This pairing lowers running costs further, especially for businesses with daytime occupancy. The survey assesses roof space, orientation, and electrical capacity.
A commercial installation typically takes three to seven days after the survey and design are approved. Larger buildings with multiple zones, radiator upgrades, or solar integration take longer. The survey provides a project timeline specific to your premises before any work starts.
