Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Port Glasgow can apply to Home Energy Scotland for a grant of up to £7,500 towards a heat pump, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, plus an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. You need a written funding offer before any work starts.
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 Port Glasgow property at survey.

Designing for Port Glasgow's winters

Heat pumps in Port Glasgow: questions
Do you cover Greenock as well as Port Glasgow?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Greenock, which is about 3 miles west of Port Glasgow, and across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Port Glasgow?
A home survey in Port Glasgow 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.
How soon can you survey a home in Port Glasgow?
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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Port Glasgow?
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 Port Glasgow home gives a room-by-room list.
