Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Ayr 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Ayr

Heat pumps in Ayr: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Ayr 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 Ayr home.
Do you cover Prestwick as well as Ayr?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Prestwick, which is about 2 miles north-east of Ayr, and across Ayrshire.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Ayr?
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 Ayr home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Ayr that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Ayr, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
