Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland

Scotland

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Dundee 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 pumps in Dundee: questions

How soon can you survey a home in Dundee?

Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Angus and Dundee. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.

How long does installation take in Dundee?

Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Dundee home states the expected time.

What size heat pump does a Dundee 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 Dundee home.

Do you cover Monifieth as well as Dundee?

Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Monifieth, which is about 6 miles east of Dundee, and across Angus and Dundee.
