Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Blairgowrie
The question for a Blairgowrie home is rarely whether a heat pump can work, but what needs to change to make it work well: radiator sizes, pipework, controls and where the unit goes.
In Blairgowrie, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage. Many homes in Blairgowrie 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
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
What's included
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
Homeowners across Perth and Kinross can arrange a survey in Blairgowrie for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Blairgowrie 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 Blairgowrie property at survey.
Air source heat pump installation costs around Blairgowrie

Designing for Blairgowrie's winters
Blairgowrie has about 6 hours 48 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 17 hours 47 minutes in midsummer. Heat pumps are designed to keep working well below freezing, but the design temperature for the survey is set for local conditions, not an average day.

- We commission the heat pump, show you the controls and register the installation.
Air source heat pump installation in Blairgowrie: questions
How long does installation take in Blairgowrie?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Blairgowrie home states the expected time.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Blairgowrie?
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 Blairgowrie home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Perth as well as Blairgowrie?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Perth, which is about 14 miles south of Blairgowrie, and across Perth and Kinross.
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.
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.
