Frequently Asked Questions

How much does air source heat pump installation cost in Edinburgh?

It depends on your property, the heat pump size and whether radiators or a hot water cylinder need upgrading. Most installations are significantly offset by Home Energy Scotland funding — a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £9,000 in remote rural areas) plus an interest-free loan of up to £7,500. We provide a free, written quotation after a survey, and as MCS-accredited installers we handle the funding paperwork with you.

Do heat pumps work in Scotland’s climate?

Yes. Modern air source heat pumps are designed for cold climates and work efficiently in Scottish winters, typically operating well below freezing. They can deliver up to four times more heat per unit of energy than even the most efficient gas boilers.

What funding is available for a heat pump in Scotland?

Home Energy Scotland offers a grant of up to £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (up to £9,000 for households in remote rural and island areas), plus an interest-free loan of up to £7,500. Funding is subject to eligibility and scheme availability — we guide you through the application at no extra cost.

Do I need planning permission for an air source heat pump in Edinburgh?

In most cases heat pumps are covered by permitted development rights in Scotland, subject to conditions on siting and noise. Listed buildings and conservation areas can need consent. We advise on this during your free survey.

How long does a heat pump installation take?

A typical domestic air source heat pump installation takes around two to five days, depending on whether radiators, pipework or a hot water cylinder are being upgraded at the same time. We agree the programme with you before work starts.
