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 Kilmarnock 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 Kilmarnock property at survey.

Short winter days in Kilmarnock and what they mean
On the shortest day Kilmarnock gets only about 7 hours 02 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 11° up at noon. Long Scottish winters mean the heat pump runs for much of the year, so careful sizing, good controls and correctly sized radiators make a real difference.
Heat pumps in Kilmarnock: questions
Do you cover Stewarton as well as Kilmarnock?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Stewarton, which is about 5 miles north of Kilmarnock, and across Ayrshire.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Kilmarnock?
A home survey in Kilmarnock 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.
How soon can you survey a home in Kilmarnock?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Ayrshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Kilmarnock?
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 Kilmarnock home gives a room-by-room list.
