Heat pump services in Perth

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 Perth 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 Perth property at survey.
Heat pump guide prices in Perth
These are guide prices for Perth and Kinross, 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.

|---|---|---|
| 1–2 bedroom flat or small terrace | 4–5 kW | £9,600–£12,650 |
| 2–3 bedroom terrace or semi | 5–7 kW | £10,600–£13,650 |
| 3 bedroom semi or small detached | 6–9 kW | £12,100–£15,650 |

| 5+ bedroom or larger older house | 11–16 kW | £16,650–£22,750 |
Installed, inc VAT: unit, cylinder, controls, minor pipework and commissioning. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland grants of up to £7,500 and interest-free loans may reduce the cost.
Winter daylight and heating in Perth
Perth has about 6 hours 51 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 17 hours 43 minutes in midsummer. Heat pumps are designed to keep working well below freezing, but the design temperature for the survey is set for local conditions, not an average day.
Heat pumps in Perth: questions
What size heat pump does a Perth 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 Perth home.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Perth?
A home survey in Perth 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 I need new radiators for a heat pump in Perth?
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 Perth home gives a room-by-room list.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Perth 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 Perth home.
