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 Carluke 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 Carluke property at survey.

Short winter days in Carluke and what they mean

Heat pumps in Carluke: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Carluke?
A home survey in Carluke 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.
Do you cover Wishaw as well as Carluke?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Wishaw, which is about 4 miles north-west of Carluke, and across Lanarkshire.
How long does installation take in Carluke?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Carluke home states the expected time.
What size heat pump does a Carluke 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 Carluke home.
