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 Dunfermline 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 Dunfermline and what they mean
Dunfermline has about 6 hours 56 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 17 hours 38 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 Dunfermline: questions
Do you cover Rosyth as well as Dunfermline?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Rosyth, which is about 3 miles south of Dunfermline, and across Fife.
What size heat pump does a Dunfermline 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 Dunfermline home.
How soon can you survey a home in Dunfermline?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Fife. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Dunfermline?
A home survey in Dunfermline 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.
