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 Auchterarder 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 Auchterarder property at survey.

Designing for Auchterarder's winters

Heat pumps in Auchterarder: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Auchterarder?
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 Auchterarder home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Auchterarder?
A home survey in Auchterarder 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.
Can you service a heat pump in Auchterarder that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Auchterarder, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Crieff as well as Auchterarder?
