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

Designing for Dunoon's winters
Dunoon has about 6 hours 57 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 17 hours 36 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 Dunoon: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Dunoon?
A home survey in Dunoon usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Dunoon house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Dunoon home.
How long does installation take in Dunoon?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Dunoon home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Dunoon that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Dunoon, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
