♨️ Heat Pump Installer in Voe, Shetland

About Heat Pump Installers

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.

About Voe

Voe is a small village at the head of Olna Firth in central-north Mainland Shetland, at the junction of roads leading north to Brae, east to Vidlin and west to Aith.

The village was once a major centre for the haaf fishing industry - deep-sea fishing from open boats - and the old fishing booths along the waterfront reflect that heritage.

Voe has a community hall, the Sail Loft heritage centre and is a stopping point on journeys through the north of Mainland, with a character shaped by its setting at the meeting of land and sea.

The Voe Show, one of Shetland’s annual agricultural shows, draws crofters and families from across the north of the islands.

About Shetland

Shetland is an archipelago of around 100 islands - 16 of them inhabited - lying roughly 110 miles north of the Scottish mainland and 210 miles west of Norway, making it the most northerly part of the United Kingdom.

Lerwick is the capital and only town of any size, a compact and characterful harbour settlement that serves as the administrative, commercial and cultural centre of the islands. Around 7,000 of Shetland’s 23,000 residents live in and around the town.

Shetland’s economy has been shaped by the sea for centuries: fishing remains a major industry and the arrival of North Sea oil at the Sullom Voe terminal in the 1970s brought prosperity that was carefully managed through a charitable trust that continues to fund services and infrastructure across the islands.

The landscape is treeless, wind-scoured and dramatic - sea cliffs, voes (narrow inlets), tombolo beaches and open moorland define the character of the islands and nowhere in Shetland is more than three miles from the sea.

Shetland has a distinct cultural identity that draws on both Scottish and Norse heritage - the annual Up Helly Aa fire festival, the Shetland dialect and the fiddle music tradition are central to island life and the sense of community across the islands is strong and self-reliant.
