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 Larbert 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 Larbert's winters
Larbert has about 6 hours 56 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 17 hours 38 minutes in midsummer. Heat pumps are designed to keep working well below freezing, but the design temperature for the survey is set for local conditions, not an average day.
Heat pumps in Larbert: questions
Do you cover Falkirk as well as Larbert?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Falkirk, which is about 2 miles south-east of Larbert, and across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Larbert 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 Larbert home.
Can you service a heat pump in Larbert that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Larbert, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Larbert?
A home survey in Larbert 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.
