Air source heat pump
Mick says

Octopus work well for a lot of homes because the process is structured, the pricing is competitive and they publish real-world performance data. If your property is unusual or needs a more tailored design, look closely at how the system is specified before committing.

Heat Geek

National installer
Air source heat pump
Mick says

Heat Geek feels like a strong fit for homeowners who want a more design-led heat pump route, especially where the installer’s knowledge, survey process and final design matter as much as the brand of heat pump. What stood out from my interview with Aadil was the combination of trained local engineers, room-by-room design, peer review, homeowner choice around disruption and performance, plus Heat Geek acting as a backstop if things do not go to plan.

Aventus Eco

Local installer
Air source heat pump Solar and battery

Serves Scotland

Installer bio

Voted Scotland’s Best Installer 2026 Aventus Eco is an award winning Scottish renewable energy company specialising in air source heat pumps, solar PV and battery storage. We are MCS certified for air source heat pumps, solar PV and battery storage, as well as being TrustMark registered, giving homeowners the reassurance that their entire renewable energy system can be designed, installed and certified by one experienced team. Founded by Sean, Aventus Eco has built its reputation around proper system design, high quality workmanship and systems that perform efficiently in the real world. Every heat pump installation is individually designed using detailed room by room heat loss calculations, rather than taking a one size fits all approach. Our work has received multiple industry awards, most recently being voted Scotland’s Best Installer 2026, alongside previous awards for renewable installations and new build renewable projects. We design and install complete renewable energy systems across Scotland, from standalone heat pumps through to fully integrated heat pump, solar and battery systems. Our approach is simple: get the design right, use quality equipment, install it properly and provide genuine long term support after the installation is complete. Want to see the standard of our work before getting in touch? Head over to the Aventus Eco YouTube channel, where Sean regularly shares real installations, system designs, performance data and behind the scenes projects from across Scotland.

Mick says

I've met Sean a number of times at various shows and we even shared a panel at the Heat Pump Show talking about the Holy Trinity (Solar, Batteries and Heat Pump). Sean is another number of growing heat pump installers that now offer all of Solar, Batteries and a Heat Pump. And having just won Scotland Installer of the year in 2026, I have no reservations in recommending Aventus Eco.
