# Macara Heating > Macara Heating is a domestic plumbing and heating business based in Danderhall, Dalkeith. Day-to-day heating and plumbing work covers Edinburgh and the Lothians; larger boiler and heat pump installations travel across Scotland's central belt (Fife, Falkirk, Stirling and the wider area). The business is currently being rebranded from Stuart Macara Plumbing & Heating to Macara Heating. The service focus for the new website is heating-first, especially boilers, heat pumps, and central heating, while retaining broader plumbing capability. ## Main Pages - [Home](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/): Boiler, heat pump and plumbing services across Edinburgh and the Lothians. - [About Macara Heating](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/about): Who we are, our experience, and how we work. - [Service Areas](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/service-areas): Where we cover across Edinburgh, the Lothians and the central belt. - [Contact](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/contact): Phone, email, and enquiry form. - [Get a Quote](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/get-started): Start a heating or plumbing enquiry. - [FAQ](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/faq): Common questions on boilers, heat pumps, central heating and plumbing. ## Services - [Boilers](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/boilers): Boiler installation, replacement, repairs and servicing. - [Boiler Installation](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/boilers/boiler-installation): New boiler installation and replacement. - [Boiler Repairs](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/boilers/boiler-repairs): Repairs for all major boiler brands. - [Boiler Servicing](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/boilers/boiler-servicing): Annual servicing to keep boilers safe and warranties valid. - [Boiler Types](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/boilers/boiler-types): Combi, system and regular boilers explained. - [LPG Boilers](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/boilers/lpg-boilers): LPG boiler installation, servicing and repairs. - [Heat Pumps](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/heat-pumps): Air source heat pump installation in partnership with JME Green Energy. - [Heat Pump Installation](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/heat-pumps/installation): How a heat pump install works. - [Heat Pump Costs](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/heat-pumps/cost): What heat pumps cost to install and run. - [Heat Pump Grants](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/heat-pumps/grants): Home Energy Scotland funding for heat pumps. - [Heat Pump vs Boiler](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/heat-pumps/vs-boiler): Comparing heat pumps and gas boilers. - [Central Heating](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/central-heating): Central heating installation, upgrades and repairs. - [Heating Controls](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/central-heating/controls): Thermostats and smart heating controls. - [Radiators](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/central-heating/radiators): Radiator upgrades and replacements. - [Power Flushing](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/central-heating/power-flushing): Power flushing to clear sludge from central heating systems. - [Plumbing](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/plumbing): General domestic plumbing services. - [Hot Water](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/plumbing/hot-water): Hot water cylinders and system work. - [Kitchen and Bathroom](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/plumbing/kitchen-and-bathroom): Kitchen and bathroom plumbing. ## Resources - [Blog](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/blog): Guides and advice on heating, boilers and heat pumps. - [Privacy Policy](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/privacy-policy): How we handle your data. - [Complaints Procedure](https://www.macaraheating.co.uk/complaints-procedure): How to raise a complaint. ## Key Business Information - **Business Name**: Macara Heating - **Current Trading Name**: Stuart Macara Plumbing & Heating - **Website**: https://www.macaraheating.co.uk - **Previous Website**: https://www.stuartmacara.co.uk - **Phone**: 0131 644 0045 - **Email**: info@macaraheating.co.uk - **Address**: 33 Neatoune Court, Danderhall, Dalkeith, EH22 1GA - **Operating Hours**: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM - **Legal Entity**: STUART MACARA PLUMBING AND HEATING LTD - **Company Number**: SC795158 - **Trust Signals**: Gas Safe registered, LPG-qualified service offering, 20+ years of experience ## Core Services ### Boilers - Boiler installations - Boiler replacements - Boiler repairs - Boiler servicing where offered - Gas boiler work for domestic customers ### Heating - Heating services - Central heating installation - Central heating repairs - Central heating upgrades - Power flushing - Radiator and system efficiency improvements ### Plumbing - General plumbing repairs - Leaks and smaller plumbing jobs - Bathroom plumbing - Kitchen plumbing - Broader domestic plumbing support ### Gas And LPG - Gas appliance installation - Gas system installations - LPG boiler installation / servicing / repairs ## Strategic Service Direction The new website should foreground: 1. Heat pumps 2. Boilers 3. Central heating 4. General heating services 5. Plumbing services Heat pump installs are delivered in partnership with JME Green Energy, the MCS-certified installer of record. Macara Heating is the local team on the tools; the MCS certification chain and the Home Energy Scotland funding paperwork sit with JME. Never describe Macara itself as MCS-certified. ## Service Areas Day-to-day heating and plumbing (reactive work, repairs, servicing): - Edinburgh - Midlothian (Dalkeith, Danderhall, Bonnyrigg, Loanhead, Penicuik, Eskbank, Lasswade) - East Lothian (Musselburgh, Tranent, Haddington, North Berwick) - West Lothian (Livingston, Bathgate, Linlithgow, Broxburn, South Queensferry) Larger boiler and heat pump installations (higher-value work): - All of the above, plus Fife, Falkirk, Stirling, and the wider central belt Do not publish dedicated location pages for towns not agreed with the client. Do not extend the reactive-work patch beyond Edinburgh and the Lothians. ## Site Notes - Front-facing brand for the new site: **Macara Heating** - Maintain continuity with the existing business rather than describing it as a new company - Keep the tone local, practical, trustworthy, and straightforward - Bias the website toward higher-ticket heating work rather than general plumbing-first messaging ## Important Accuracy Notes - Do not invent finance options. Macara does not currently offer a structured finance product; staged payments on larger jobs can be discussed at survey. - Never claim Macara itself is MCS-certified. Heat pump installs are delivered under JME Green Energy's MCS licence. - Do not reference the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). Scotland uses Home Energy Scotland (HES) — up to £7,500 grant, optional interest-free loan up to £7,500, rural uplift available. - Do not invent manufacturer accreditations. Preferred brands for boilers are Baxi, Worcester Bosch, and Vaillant. - Solar is NOT a service offered. Do not list it in services or cards. - Use the current published contact details unless the client confirms replacements.
