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 Callander 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Callander
On the shortest day Callander gets only about 6 hours 53 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 Callander: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Callander 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 Callander home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Callander?
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 Callander home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Callander?
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 Callander that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Callander, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
