We cover Crieff and nearby Auchterarder, Perth and the rest of Perth and Kinross. A heat pump is a whole-system change, so the survey looks at radiators, pipework, the hot water cylinder and the best spot for the outdoor unit.

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 Crieff 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 Crieff property at survey.

How long is the heating season in Crieff?

Heat pumps in Crieff: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Crieff?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Perth and Kinross. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does installation take in Crieff?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Crieff home states the expected time.
What size heat pump does a Crieff 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 Crieff home.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Crieff 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 Crieff home.
