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

How long is the heating season in Dalkeith?
On the shortest day Dalkeith gets only about 6 hours 58 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 Dalkeith: questions
Do you cover Bonnyrigg as well as Dalkeith?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Bonnyrigg, which is about 2 miles south-west of Dalkeith, and across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Dalkeith?
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 Dalkeith home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Dalkeith?
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.
What size heat pump does a Dalkeith 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 Dalkeith home.
