We cover 13 towns and cities in Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride, Hamilton, Cumbernauld and Coatbridge. Every installation is designed from a room-by-room heat loss calculation, so the heat pump, radiators and cylinder are sized for the house rather than guessed.

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 home in Lanarkshire, 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.

Questions
Is there a heat pump grant in Northern Ireland?
There is no dedicated heat pump grant for homeowners in Northern Ireland at present. Heat pumps have sometimes been funded through the Northern Ireland Sustainable Energy Programme, so it is worth checking what is open when you enquire. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales only, and Home Energy Scotland funding is for Scotland. Your written quote for a Northern Ireland home shows the price with no grant deducted unless funding has been confirmed.
Does my home need to be well insulated before I get a heat pump?
Your home does not need to be perfectly insulated, but insulation affects the size of heat pump you need and how much it costs to run. A room-by-room heat loss calculation shows where heat escapes, and the system is sized to match. Simple measures such as loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and draught-proofing can lower heat loss. We point out worthwhile improvements at survey, so you can decide whether to do them first.
What happens at the home survey?
The home survey is a visit to measure your home room by room and calculate its heat loss, which sets the size of heat pump and radiators you need. We also look at your existing radiators and pipework, where the cylinder and outdoor unit can go, your electricity supply and the position of neighbouring homes for the noise check. Afterwards you receive a written quote with the system design and price. See heat loss surveys.
Does an air source heat pump need servicing?
Yes, annual servicing is recommended for an air source heat pump and is often a condition of the manufacturer warranty. A service checks the outdoor unit and coil, filters, system pressure, expansion vessel, anti-freeze protection, controls and performance, and cleans what needs it. Servicing is a paid visit, with a guide price of £120–£250, including VAT. Refrigerant work on split systems must be done by an F-gas certified engineer. See heat pump servicing.
