Heat pump services in Wishaw
All services in Wishaw:
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 Wishaw 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 Wishaw property at survey.
Heat pump guide prices in Wishaw
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.

Designing for Wishaw's winters
On the shortest day Wishaw gets only about 7 hours 00 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 11° up at noon. Long Scottish winters mean the heat pump runs for much of the year, so careful sizing, good controls and correctly sized radiators make a real difference.
Heat pumps in Wishaw: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Wishaw?
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 Wishaw home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Wishaw?
A home survey in Wishaw 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.
How long does installation take in Wishaw?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Wishaw home states the expected time.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Wishaw 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 Wishaw home.
