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 Bridge of Allan 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 Bridge of Allan property at survey.

Heat pump grants in Bridge of Allan: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Bridge of Allan 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 Bridge of Allan home.
Do you cover Stirling as well as Bridge of Allan?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Stirling, which is about 2 miles south of Bridge of Allan, and across Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire.
Can you service a heat pump in Bridge of Allan that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bridge of Allan, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Can I start work before my Home Energy Scotland offer arrives?
No. In Scotland you must receive a written funding offer from Home Energy Scotland before work starts, otherwise the work may not be funded. We plan the installation date only once your offer is confirmed. Funding is first come, first served, so it helps to apply once you have your written quote.
How much is the heat pump grant?
It depends on where you live. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £7,500 towards an air-to-water heat pump, or £9,000 when replacing oil or LPG heating for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland offers up to £7,500, plus a rural uplift and an optional loan. Northern Ireland has no dedicated grant at present.
