Heat pump services in Paisley
All services in Paisley:
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 Paisley 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 Paisley property at survey.
Heat pump guide prices in Paisley
Guide prices for Paisley and the rest of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde are shown below, installed and inc VAT. We publish ranges rather than a single figure because design details move the price, and the written quote after survey fixes it.

|---|---|---|
| 1–2 bedroom flat or small terrace | 4–5 kW | £9,500–£12,500 |
| 2–3 bedroom terrace or semi | 5–7 kW | £10,500–£13,500 |

Short winter days in Paisley and what they mean
Paisley has about 6 hours 59 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 17 hours 35 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 Paisley: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Paisley 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 Paisley home.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Paisley?
A home survey in Paisley 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 Paisley that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Paisley, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Barrhead as well as Paisley?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Barrhead, which is about 3 miles south-east of Paisley, and across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde.
