Air source heat pump installation for Grangemouth homes
In Grangemouth, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
Homeowners across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire can arrange a survey in Grangemouth for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything. Many homes in Grangemouth have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows.
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
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
What's included
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
For older properties in Grangemouth, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Grangemouth 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 Grangemouth property at survey.

Air source heat pump installation in Grangemouth: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Grangemouth?
A home survey in Grangemouth 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.
Do you cover Falkirk as well as Grangemouth?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Falkirk, which is about 3 miles west of Grangemouth, and across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire.
Can you service a heat pump in Grangemouth that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Grangemouth, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
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.
