Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
In Scotland, heat pump funding comes through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £1,500 extra for eligible rural and island homes) and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. For a Cumnock home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.
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 Cumnock property at survey.

How long is the heating season in Cumnock?

Heat pumps in Cumnock: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Cumnock that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Cumnock, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Cumnock?
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 Cumnock home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Cumnock?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Ayrshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Cumnock 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 Cumnock home.
