Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Bonnyrigg 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.
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 Bonnyrigg property at survey.

Heat pumps in Bonnyrigg: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Bonnyrigg?
A home survey in Bonnyrigg 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 Bonnyrigg?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Edinburgh and the Lothians. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Dalkeith as well as Bonnyrigg?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Dalkeith, which is about 2 miles north-east of Bonnyrigg, and across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Bonnyrigg?
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 Bonnyrigg home gives a room-by-room list.
