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 Renfrew home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK, Scotland included, until 31 March 2027. Scottish permitted development rules and building standards apply, and the surveyor checks the unit position and any listed or conservation-area constraints.
Heat pump guide prices in Renfrew
These are guide prices for Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, 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.

Designing for Renfrew's winters
Renfrew has about 6 hours 58 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 Renfrew: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Renfrew 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 Renfrew home.
How long does installation take in Renfrew?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Renfrew home states the expected time.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Renfrew?
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 Renfrew home gives a room-by-room list.
What size heat pump does a Renfrew 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 Renfrew home.
