Oil and LPG boiler replacement for Monifieth homes
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Monifieth is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
If your home near Monifieth is off the mains gas grid, a heat pump removes the need for oil or LPG deliveries. Owners across Angus and Dundee can have oil tank removal arranged alongside a heat pump installation in Monifieth.
Off-gas homes have a lot to plan when switching to a heat pump: the fuel tank, older walls, rural power supplies and higher heat loss.
- Rural and village homes off the mains gas grid
- Owners tired of fuel deliveries and tank maintenance
- Older oil boilers nearing the end of their life
What's included
- Oil tank draining and removal or making safe, as set out in your quote
- Help arranging LPG tank collection with your supplier
- Network operator notification and electrical connection
- Outdoor unit, heat pump cylinder, controls and radiator changes
- Removal of the oil or LPG boiler and flue
Rural properties near Monifieth usually have garden space for the outdoor unit, sited away from windows and sheltered where possible.
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 Monifieth 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 Monifieth property at survey.

Replacing an oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump in Monifieth: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Monifieth?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Angus and Dundee. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Monifieth?
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 Monifieth home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Monifieth?
A home survey in Monifieth 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.
Do I have to remove my oil tank?
Not always, but it should be emptied and made safe. A tank in good condition can be drained, cleaned and left in place, though most owners prefer to have it taken away to free up space. Old or damaged tanks are usually removed. Your quote says which option is included, and any remaining oil and sludge is disposed of properly.
What happens with a leased LPG tank?
Leased LPG tanks belong to the supplier, so the supplier arranges collection. Check your contract for notice periods and any charges before you fix a date. We time the switchover so you are not left without heating, and once the heat pump is commissioned the supplier can empty and remove the tank. Bottled LPG cylinders are simply returned.
