Heat pump services in Bo'ness
All services in Bo'ness:
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 Bo'ness 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 Bo'ness property at survey.

Short winter days in Bo'ness and what they mean
On the shortest day Bo'ness 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 Bo'ness: questions
What size heat pump does a Bo'ness 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 Bo'ness home.
Do you cover Grangemouth as well as Bo'ness?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Grangemouth, which is about 4 miles west of Bo'ness, and across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire.
How long does installation take in Bo'ness?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Bo'ness home states the expected time.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Bo'ness?
A home survey in Bo'ness 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.
