Heat pump services in Airdrie
All services in Airdrie:
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 an Airdrie 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 Airdrie property at survey.
Heat pump guide prices in Airdrie
These are guide prices for Lanarkshire, 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 Airdrie?

Heat pumps in Airdrie: questions
What size heat pump does an Airdrie 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 Airdrie home.
Do you cover Coatbridge as well as Airdrie?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Coatbridge, which is about 2 miles west of Airdrie, and across Lanarkshire.
Can you service a heat pump in Airdrie that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Airdrie, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Airdrie 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 Airdrie home.
