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 Newton Mearns 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 Newton Mearns property at survey.

Heat pumps in Newton Mearns: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Newton Mearns 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 Newton Mearns home.
How soon can you survey a home in Newton Mearns?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in Newton Mearns that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Newton Mearns, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
What size heat pump does a Newton Mearns 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 Newton Mearns home.
