Heat pump services in Pitlochry
All services in Pitlochry:
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 Pitlochry 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 Pitlochry property at survey.

Designing for Pitlochry's winters
On the shortest day Pitlochry gets only about 6 hours 47 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 10° 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 Pitlochry: questions
How long does installation take in Pitlochry?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Pitlochry home states the expected time.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Pitlochry?
A home survey in Pitlochry 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 Pitlochry?
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 Pitlochry home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Aberfeldy as well as Pitlochry?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Aberfeldy, which is about 8 miles south-west of Pitlochry, and across Perth and Kinross.
