Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Rosyth 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 Rosyth property at survey.
Heat pump guide prices in Rosyth

Winter daylight and heating in Rosyth
On the shortest day Rosyth gets only about 6 hours 56 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 Rosyth: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Rosyth?
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 Rosyth?
A home survey in Rosyth 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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Rosyth?
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 Rosyth home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Rosyth that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Rosyth, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
