Most domestic air source heat pump installations in Edinburgh and the Lothians land between £10,000 and £16,000 before any Home Energy Scotland funding is applied.
The final price depends on a few honest, practical things:
- The property size and how well it holds heat (a 1930s semi costs differently to a modern build)
- Whether existing radiators can stay or need upgrading to larger sizes
- Whether pipework needs changing to handle the lower flow temperatures heat pumps run at
- The heat pump size and the system design needed to keep the home comfortable in a Scottish winter
- Whether a hot water cylinder needs replacing or relocating
Home Energy Scotland grant and interest-free loan. Scotland uses the Home Energy Scotland scheme — funded by the Scottish Government and administered by the Energy Saving Trust — not the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which is England and Wales only. Because installs are completed under the MCS certification of our partner JME Green Energy, eligible Scottish homeowners can apply for a Home Energy Scotland grant toward the heat pump, with an interest-free loan available on top for remaining costs. Rural and island properties may qualify for an uplift. Eligibility and current amounts are confirmed at the survey — we won't promise a grant outcome we can't control, but we'll tell you honestly where you stand.
Every quote we write is a proper fixed price after a real home survey. No phone-estimates, no bait figures, no surprise extras.
