We cover Annan and nearby Lockerbie, Dumfries and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. A heat pump is a whole-system change, so the survey looks at radiators, pipework, the hot water cylinder and the best spot for the outdoor unit.

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

Designing for Annan's winters
Annan sees roughly 7 hours 10 minutes of daylight in December and 17 hours 22 minutes in June. With a longer heating season than the south, the gains from low flow temperatures and good controls add up over the year.
Heat pumps in Annan: questions
What size heat pump does an Annan 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 Annan home.
Can you service a heat pump in Annan that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Annan, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Annan?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Dumfries and Galloway. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does installation take in Annan?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Annan home states the expected time.
