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

Heat pumps in Irvine: questions
Do you cover Saltcoats as well as Irvine?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Saltcoats, which is about 5 miles west of Irvine, and across Ayrshire.
How soon can you survey a home in Irvine?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Ayrshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Irvine?
A home survey in Irvine 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.
What size heat pump does an Irvine 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 Irvine home.
