Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Stewarton 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.
Heat pump guide prices in Stewarton
These are guide prices for Ayrshire, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

Designing for Stewarton's winters
Stewarton has about 7 hours 01 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 17 hours 32 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 Stewarton: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Stewarton 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 Stewarton home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Stewarton?
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 Stewarton home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does installation take in Stewarton?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Stewarton home states the expected time.
Do you cover Kilmarnock as well as Stewarton?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Kilmarnock, which is about 5 miles south of Stewarton, and across Ayrshire.
