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 Grangemouth 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.

Designing for Grangemouth's winters

Heat pumps in Grangemouth: questions
Do you cover Falkirk as well as Grangemouth?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Falkirk, which is about 3 miles west of Grangemouth, and across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Grangemouth 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 Grangemouth home.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Grangemouth?
A home survey in Grangemouth 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.
What size heat pump does a Grangemouth 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 Grangemouth home.
