We cover Alloa and nearby Stirling, Bridge of Allan and the rest of Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. A heat pump is a whole-system change, so the survey looks at radiators, pipework, the hot water cylinder and the best spot for the outdoor unit.

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 an Alloa home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.
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 Alloa property at survey.
Heat pump guide prices in Alloa

Installed, inc VAT: unit, cylinder, controls, minor pipework and commissioning. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland grants of up to £7,500 and interest-free loans may reduce the cost.
Short winter days in Alloa and what they mean
On the shortest day Alloa gets only about 6 hours 55 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 10° 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 Alloa: questions
How long does installation take in Alloa?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Alloa home states the expected time.
How soon can you survey a home in Alloa?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in Alloa that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Alloa, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Alloa house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Alloa home.
