What to know about air source heat pump installation in Carnoustie
Homes around Carnoustie range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
For older properties in Carnoustie, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized. Homeowners across Angus and Dundee can arrange a survey in Carnoustie for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
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.
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
What's included
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
Many homes in Carnoustie have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Carnoustie can apply to Home Energy Scotland for a grant of up to £7,500 towards a heat pump, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, plus an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. You need a written funding offer before any work starts.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Scotland has its own permitted development rules for air source heat pumps and its own building standards, so we confirm what applies to your Carnoustie property at survey.

Air source heat pump installation in Carnoustie: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Carnoustie?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Angus and Dundee. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in Carnoustie that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Carnoustie, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Carnoustie?
A home survey in Carnoustie usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
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.
Can I cancel after accepting the quote?
Nothing is ordered until you accept the written quote. Where the contract is agreed away from our premises, for example at your kitchen table, you can cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you ask us to start sooner and then cancel, you pay only for work done up to that point.
