Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Bearsden can apply to Home Energy Scotland for a grant of up to £7,500 towards a heat pump, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, plus an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. You need a written funding offer before any work starts.
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 Bearsden
On the shortest day Bearsden gets only about 6 hours 58 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 Bearsden: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Bearsden?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Glasgow and Dunbartonshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Bearsden?
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 Bearsden home gives a room-by-room list.
What size heat pump does a Bearsden 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 Bearsden home.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Bearsden 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 Bearsden home.
