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 Stonehaven 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 Stonehaven property at survey.
Heat pump guide prices in Stonehaven
These are guide prices for Aberdeenshire and Moray, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

| 2–3 bedroom terrace or semi | 5–7 kW | £10,800–£13,900 |

How long is the heating season in Stonehaven?
Stonehaven has about 6 hours 43 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 17 hours 53 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.
Heat pumps in Stonehaven: questions
Do you cover Portlethen as well as Stonehaven?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Portlethen, which is about 7 miles north-east of Stonehaven, and across Aberdeenshire and Moray.
How soon can you survey a home in Stonehaven?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Aberdeenshire and Moray. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does installation take in Stonehaven?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Stonehaven home states the expected time.
What size heat pump does a Stonehaven 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 Stonehaven home.
