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 Haddington home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.
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.

Short winter days in Haddington and what they mean
On the shortest day Haddington gets only about 6 hours 57 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 Haddington: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Haddington?
A home survey in Haddington 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 long does installation take in Haddington?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Haddington home states the expected time.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Haddington?
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 Haddington home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover North Berwick as well as Haddington?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in North Berwick, which is about 7 miles north of Haddington, and across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
