Case Study: Heat Pump Retrofit in Blairgowrie

At Evolved Energy Services, we’re passionate about turning outdated heating systems into modern, efficient solutions that deliver comfort and sustainability. Our recent project in Blairgowrie, Scotland, is a great example of how expertise, the right tools, and strong partnerships come together to make a difference.

The Challenge

The property relied on ageing gas heating, microbore pipework, and gravity-fed water services, all inefficient and unsuited to the homeowner’s long-term goals. The task was to design and deliver a system that would dramatically improve energy efficiency while futureproofing the home.

Our Solution

As part of the Heat Geek Elite Installer network, we leaned on advanced design platforms and trusted technology partners to build the perfect system. The upgrade included:

  • Full MLCP re-pipe – Installed with 25mm insulation beneath the subfloor to minimise heat loss, supplied by Multipipe Ltd.
  • Vaillant Aerotherm 5kW heat pump – A high-performance, low-carbon heating solution designed with Heat Geek’s specialist software.
  • Heat Geek Super Cylinder – With 90mm insulation from Newark Cylinders, ensuring exceptional hot water efficiency.
  • Precision system design – Delivered via h2x, providing exact specifications for maximum performance.
  • Home Energy Monitor Kit – From OpenEnergyMonitor, allowing the homeowner to track system performance and optimise efficiency in real time.

Throughout the process, support from City Plumbing and expert guidance from Chris Emmerson further enhanced both the installation and the customer experience.

The Result

The homeowners now enjoy:

  • An efficient, future-ready heating and hot water system
  • Lower energy usage and reduced running costs
  • Full visibility of performance thanks to real-time monitoring

This retrofit is another example of how Evolved Energy Services combines cutting-edge technology with meticulous design and installation practices. By working with leading platforms like Heat Geek and h2x – and celebrating the teamwork behind every project, we’re proud to deliver renewable solutions that raise the bar for home heating in Scotland.
