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

Heat pumps in Arbroath: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Arbroath that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Arbroath, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Arbroath?
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 Arbroath home gives a room-by-room list.
What size heat pump does an Arbroath 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 Arbroath home.
How long does installation take in Arbroath?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Arbroath home states the expected time.
