Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland

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 East Kilbride home, 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.

Heat pumps in East Kilbride: questions

Can you service a heat pump in East Kilbride that someone else installed?

Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in East Kilbride, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.

What size heat pump does an East Kilbride 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 East Kilbride home.

Do you cover Cambuslang as well as East Kilbride?

Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Cambuslang, which is about 3 miles north of East Kilbride, and across Lanarkshire.

Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in East Kilbride?

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 East Kilbride home gives a room-by-room list.
