How much does a heat pump cost to install in Glasgow?

A fully-installed air source heat pump for a typical 3-bed Glasgow home usually lands at £4,000–£9,000 after the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Pre-grant it's typically £12,000–£17,000.

Can I get extra funding for a heat pump in Scotland?

Yes — alongside the national £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme, Scotland's Home Energy Scotland loans cover heat pump installations, often up to £15,000 interest-free. These can in effect be stacked with the grant, which materially lowers the upfront cost for Glasgow homeowners.

Is a cold-climate heat pump worth it in Glasgow?

Are there enough heat pump installers in Glasgow?

Yes — Glasgow is Scotland's heat-pump heartland, with 140+ MCS-certified installers covering the G-postcode area, so you have plenty of choice for comparing quotes.
