Heat pumps and renewables for Scottish businesses and farms

Quick answer

We arrange heat pump, solar and battery quotations for Scottish businesses, farms and rural properties. Commercial buildings, farm steading conversions and off-grid homes each have different heating demands. A proper survey and written quotation address those demands directly. Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status.

Renewable heating and energy for Scottish businesses and farms

Four areas where we help commercial and rural property owners across Scotland.

Commercial heat pumps

Offices, warehouses, retail units and workshops need heating designed around occupied hours, large volumes and often mixed-use spaces. A heat loss survey accounts for all of this, and the quotation covers the outdoor unit position, any plant room work and the controls schedule.

Commercial battery storage

Battery storage lets a business shift electricity use to cheaper-rate periods, support EV charging and keep critical systems running through a power cut. The quotation specifies battery capacity, inverter sizing, where it sits and how it integrates with your existing supply.

Farm solar and heat pumps

Farms and steading conversions often have large roof areas for solar and space for ground arrays. A heat pump can replace oil or LPG heating in farmhouses and outbuildings, and solar can offset the electricity it uses. The survey covers roof loadings, grid connection and any planning questions.

Rural and off-grid properties

Homes and businesses beyond the gas grid on oil, LPG or direct electric heating are often strong candidates for a heat pump. Rural sites raise questions about electrical supply capacity, access for installation and exposure to weather, all of which the survey addresses before any quotation is issued.

The process for commercial and farm properties

The process starts with a site survey. For a commercial building, that means measuring the heated areas, checking how the building is used through the day and looking at the existing heating plant. For a farm or rural property, it includes roof area and orientation for solar, space for a heat pump outdoor unit or battery, and the state of the electrical supply.

From that survey comes a written quotation with a room-by-room or zone-by-zone heat loss calculation, the recommended system specification, any infrastructure work needed, and an itemised price. We install through MCS-certified partners, so the MCS number of the company doing the work appears on every quotation.

For businesses considering battery storage or solar alongside a heat pump, the quotation covers the full system design: panel or battery placement, inverter specification, grid connection requirements and how the components work together. There is no obligation to proceed after the survey.

Paying for your installation

Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. We can discuss options as part of your quotation, so you can see the full installation cost and any finance terms before you commit. The quotation always shows the total price separately from any finance arrangement.

For farm and agricultural installations, interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status, may be an option depending on the project and your circumstances. We will tell you what applies during the quotation process.

Questions about this page

Can a heat pump heat a commercial building?

Yes, if it is sized correctly. Commercial buildings often have higher heat loss than homes due to large volumes, high ceilings and frequent door openings. A proper heat loss survey accounts for occupied hours and zoning, and the quotation specifies the unit size, flow temperature and controls needed to keep the building warm.

Is battery storage worth it for a business?

It depends on your electricity usage pattern, tariff and whether you have solar. A battery lets you buy electricity at cheap rates and use it during expensive periods, which works well for businesses with daytime demand. The quotation shows battery capacity, expected usage shifting and how it connects to your supply.

Can I combine solar panels with a heat pump?

Yes, and they work well together. Solar generates electricity during the day that a heat pump can use for heating and hot water. A battery extends that benefit into the evening. The survey looks at roof orientation, available area and your heat loss figures to design a system that makes sense for your property.

Do farms need planning permission for solar or heat pumps?

Some agricultural installations are permitted development, but larger arrays, listed farm buildings and sites in conservation areas may need planning permission. Ground-mounted solar above a certain size also has rules. The survey checks what applies to your site before any quotation is issued.

What about off-grid properties?

Off-grid homes and businesses on oil, LPG or direct electric heating are often ideal for a heat pump. The main considerations are electrical supply capacity and access for installation. If the incoming supply needs upgrading, this is identified at survey stage so it can be planned for.

Is finance available for commercial installations?

Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. We can discuss options as part of your quotation so you can see the full picture before committing. The quotation always shows the total price and any finance terms separately.
