Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Lanark
Homes around Lanark range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Terraced streets in Lanark often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully. For older properties in Lanark, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized.
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
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
Installers working in Lanark 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 a Lanark 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 Lanark: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Lanark?
A home survey in Lanark 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 soon can you survey a home in Lanark?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Lanarkshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Lanark?
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 Lanark home gives a room-by-room list.
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.
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.
