Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Glasgow
A heat pump suits most Glasgow homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Installers working in Glasgow plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical. In Glasgow, 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.
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
What's included
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
Homeowners across Glasgow and Dunbartonshire can arrange a survey in Glasgow for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
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 a Glasgow 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.

Air source heat pump installation in Glasgow: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Glasgow?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Glasgow home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Bishopbriggs as well as Glasgow?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Bishopbriggs, which is about 3 miles north-east of Glasgow, and across Glasgow and Dunbartonshire.
Can you service a heat pump in Glasgow that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Glasgow, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Will an air source heat pump be noisy?
Heat pumps are designed to run quietly, but where the unit sits makes a real difference. The survey looks for a position away from bedroom windows and neighbours, with clear airflow, and the installation must pass the MCS noise assessment. The fan is most noticeable on very cold days when the unit works hardest, and a little vapour during the periodic defrost is normal.
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.
