Heat pump services in Argyll and Bute
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Argyll and Bute 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.

Questions
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical home installation takes 2–4 days on site, longer if radiators or pipework are being changed. The work usually runs in stages: the outdoor unit and pipe runs, then the cylinder and indoor connections, then filling, commissioning and showing you the controls. Your heating and hot water are off for part of the work, and we agree the plan with you beforehand. Timings are typical rather than fixed. See how it works.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole of the UK: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Installations on the Scottish islands and in other remote areas are by arrangement, as travel and access can affect timing and price. Grants, VAT and planning rules differ between nations, so your quote reflects where you live. Enter your postcode on our quote page or browse the areas we cover.
Is the home survey free?
Yes, the home survey and heat loss calculation are free when you are enquiring about an installation. If you only want a heat loss survey and report, for example to plan a renovation, a stand-alone survey is a guide price of £150–£400, including VAT. Repairs work differently: a fault-finding visit is charged at a rate agreed before we attend, and servicing is a paid visit.
Can you service or repair a heat pump fitted by another installer?
Yes, we can usually service and repair air source heat pumps fitted by other installers. Tell us the make and model, any error code and how the system is behaving. A fault-finding visit is charged at a rate agreed before we attend, and servicing is a paid visit. We check whether a manufacturer warranty still applies before work starts, and if a unit is beyond economic repair we can quote for a replacement.
