Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Aberdeen 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.
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.
Heat pump guide prices in Aberdeen
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Aberdeenshire and Moray, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Aberdeen can need quite different radiators and pipework.

Installed, inc VAT: unit, cylinder, controls, minor pipework and commissioning. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland grants of up to £7,500 and interest-free loans may reduce the cost.
Short winter days in Aberdeen and what they mean
On the shortest day Aberdeen gets only about 6 hours 40 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 9° 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.
Heat pumps in Aberdeen: questions
Do you cover Portlethen as well as Aberdeen?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Portlethen, which is about 6 miles south of Aberdeen, and across Aberdeenshire and Moray.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Aberdeen?
A home survey in Aberdeen 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.
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Aberdeen house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Aberdeen home.
Can you service a heat pump in Aberdeen that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Aberdeen, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
