Air source heat pump installation for Coatbridge homes
Every property in Coatbridge is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
Installers working in Coatbridge plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical. In Coatbridge, 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.
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
Homeowners across Lanarkshire can arrange a survey in Coatbridge 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 Coatbridge 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 Coatbridge: questions
Do you cover Airdrie as well as Coatbridge?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Airdrie, which is about 2 miles east of Coatbridge, and across Lanarkshire.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Coatbridge?
A home survey in Coatbridge 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 installation take in Coatbridge?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Coatbridge home states the expected time.
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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not always; many homes keep most of their radiators and change only a few. Because a heat pump runs at a lower water temperature than a boiler, each radiator gives out less heat, so the survey checks every room against its heat loss. Rooms where the existing radiator falls short get a larger one, with a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT.
