Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Westhill 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 Westhill property at survey.

Short winter days in Westhill and what they mean
On the shortest day Westhill 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 Westhill: questions
Do you cover Aberdeen as well as Westhill?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Aberdeen, which is about 7 miles east of Westhill, and across Aberdeenshire and Moray.
What size heat pump does a Westhill 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 Westhill home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Westhill?
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 Westhill home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Westhill that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Westhill, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
