No heat pump installer listed in Pittenweem yet.

A heat pump installer fits air source and ground source heat pumps - replacing traditional gas or oil boilers with a system that draws renewable heat from the air or ground to warm your home.

With Scotland pushing hard towards net zero heating, demand for qualified heat pump installers is growing fast - and grants through the Home Energy Scotland scheme can cover a significant part of the cost.

Make sure your installer is MCS certified (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) - this is required to access government grants and ensures the work meets industry standards.

Pittenweem is a working fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife - its harbour is the most active in the area, with boats landing prawns and lobster daily.

The village takes its name from the Pictish for 'place of the cave', referring to St Fillan's Cave, a 7th-century hermit's retreat that can still be visited below the priory.

Pittenweem hosts an annual Arts Festival each August that transforms houses, gardens and public buildings into exhibition spaces, drawing thousands of visitors.

The village has a steep, attractive High Street lined with traditional Fife vernacular buildings - crow-stepped gables, pantiled roofs and colourfully painted facades.

Fife is a large peninsula in eastern Scotland, bounded by the Firth of Forth to the south and the Firth of Tay to the north - a geography that has given it a distinct identity and earned it the traditional title of 'The Kingdom of Fife'.

Dunfermline is the largest settlement and a former capital of Scotland, granted city status in 2022, while Glenrothes serves as the administrative centre and St Andrews is known worldwide as the home of golf and Scotland's oldest university.

The south-west of Fife has a strong industrial heritage - coal mining and shipbuilding shaped towns like Cowdenbeath, Lochgelly and Rosyth - while the East Neuk coastline is defined by a string of picturesque fishing villages: Anstruther, Crail, Pittenweem and St Monans.

Inland, the Howe of Fife is fertile agricultural land dotted with market towns like Cupar, Auchtermuchty and Falkland, the last of these home to a beautifully preserved Renaissance palace.

Fife is well connected to Edinburgh via the Forth Road Bridge and Queensferry Crossing and to Dundee via the Tay Road Bridge, making much of the region practical for commuters while retaining a strong sense of local identity.
