Air source heat pump installation in Inverurie: what to expect
Homes around Inverurie range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Homeowners across Aberdeenshire and Moray can arrange a survey in Inverurie for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything. In Inverurie, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
We survey your home, design a heat pump system around its real heat loss, and manage the installation from the first visit to the MCS certificate.
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
What's included
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
Installers working in Inverurie plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
In Scotland, heat pump funding comes through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £1,500 extra for eligible rural and island homes) and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. For an Inverurie home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK, Scotland included, until 31 March 2027. Scottish permitted development rules and building standards apply, and the surveyor checks the unit position and any listed or conservation-area constraints.

Designing for Inverurie's winters
Inverurie has about 6 hours 38 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 17 hours 58 minutes in midsummer. Heat pumps are designed to keep working well below freezing, but the design temperature for the survey is set for local conditions, not an average day.

Air source heat pump installation in Inverurie: questions
What size heat pump does an Inverurie home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Inverurie home.
Do you cover Westhill as well as Inverurie?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Westhill, which is about 10 miles south of Inverurie, and across Aberdeenshire and Moray.
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Inverurie house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Inverurie home.
How long does an air source heat pump installation take?
A typical home installation takes 2–4 days on site. It takes longer if several radiators are being replaced, pipework is being upgraded or the cylinder is going in a new location. Your quote sets out the expected programme, including when you will be without heating and hot water. Timings are typical rather than fixed, because older homes sometimes reveal surprises once floorboards are lifted.
What grants can I get for a heat pump?
It depends on where you live. In England and Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water heat pump, which the installer claims and deducts from your quote. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland offers a grant of up to £7,500, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, but you need a written funding offer before work starts. Northern Ireland has no dedicated homeowner heat pump grant at present.
