Yes. We cover Galashiels and all Scottish Borders postcodes. The mix of former mill towns and rural farmsteads means battery back-up is valuable for remote properties. Storm Watch pre-charges before winter storms. We install through MCS-certified partners. 0% VAT applies until March 2027.
Galashiels is the largest town in the Scottish Borders, sitting in the Tweed Valley. The town was historically a centre of the Scottish textile industry, and its housing stock reflects this heritage with Victorian and Edwardian sandstone tenements and workers cottages. Modern developments have expanded the town in recent years. The wider Borders region includes towns like Hawick, Kelso, Jedburgh, Melrose and Peebles, each with their own character. Rural properties in the Borders range from farmsteads to isolated cottages, many of which are off the gas grid and rely on electricity, oil or LPG for heating. The Borders has a relatively low population density, and rural properties often experience power outages due to the long overhead power lines that serve them. The Borders Railway, which reopened in 2015, connects Galashiels to Edinburgh, improving access for installation teams. The region receives around 1,150 sunshine hours per year. The hilly terrain means many properties have partial shading, which we assess during the survey.
