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 Clydebank 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 Clydebank property at survey.
Heat pump guide prices in Clydebank
Guide prices for Clydebank and the rest of Glasgow and Dunbartonshire are shown below, installed and inc VAT. We publish ranges rather than a single figure because design details move the price, and the written quote after survey fixes it.

Designing for Clydebank's winters
Clydebank has about 6 hours 58 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 17 hours 36 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 Clydebank: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Clydebank?
A home survey in Clydebank 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.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Clydebank 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 Clydebank home.
Do you cover Bearsden as well as Clydebank?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Bearsden, which is about 3 miles east of Clydebank, and across Glasgow and Dunbartonshire.
How soon can you survey a home in Clydebank?
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.
