Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Glasgow 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.
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 Glasgow property at survey.
Heat pump guide prices in Glasgow
These are guide prices for Glasgow and Dunbartonshire, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

How long is the heating season in Glasgow?
Glasgow has about 6 hours 59 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 17 hours 35 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 Glasgow: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Glasgow that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Glasgow, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Glasgow?
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 Glasgow home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Glasgow?
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.
What size heat pump does a Glasgow 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 Glasgow home.
