Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Renfrew
In Renfrew, 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.
For older properties in Renfrew, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized. Homeowners across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde can arrange a survey in Renfrew for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
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
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
What's included
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
In Renfrew, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
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 Renfrew home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.
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 Renfrew property at survey.

On the shortest day Renfrew gets only about 6 hours 58 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 11° up at noon. Long Scottish winters mean the heat pump runs for much of the year, so careful sizing, good controls and correctly sized radiators make a real difference.

Air source heat pump installation in Renfrew: questions
What size heat pump does a Renfrew home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Renfrew home.
How soon can you survey a home in Renfrew?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Renfrew?
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 Renfrew home gives a room-by-room list.
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.
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.
