What is an air source heat pump?
An air source heat pump acts as a heating system, capturing heat from the air outside and pushing it into your home through your radiators, using electricity to do so. An air source heat pump can help you save money on your energy bills and reduce your reliance on fossil fuels. Want to find out more? Read our ASHP guide to find out more.
An ASHP has lots of benefits, such as:
- They're 300% more efficient than a gas boiler
- They'll lower your carbon footprint by around 13% a year, that's roughly a return flight from Edinburgh to Perth!(1)
- You can enjoy reliable heating all year round - an air source heat pump still works effectively at -25°C
- They're low maintenance with a long service life - (15+ years)

Government grants for heat pumps in Scotland
With more support through government grants and finance packages, where you can spread the cost of your ASHP, now's a good time to make the change to low carbon heating!
If you live in Scotland, the Home Energy Scotland Grant and Loan Scheme is your best option for funding, providing homeowners either a grant, an interest-free loan or a combination of both to install an air source heat pump or other clean heating systems.
You can get a grant of up to £7,500, which increases to £9,000 for people who qualify for the rural uplift scheme. You can also apply for an interest-free loan of up to £7,500 to cover the remaining costs. This means that some households in Scotland can get financial support of up to £15,000 for installing an air source heat pump.
Not sure if you qualify?
Home Energy Scotland is not means-tested, so it's likely you'll be eligible for the scheme. To qualify you must:
- You must be the homeowner of the property where the heat pump is being installed
- The property must be located in Scotland
- You must use an MCS certified installer (don't worry EDF Heat Pumps is an MCS accredited installer)
- The heat pump must provide both heating and hot water
- Have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) with no outstanding loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations

Solar in Scotland
Thinking of buying a heat pump, why not install a solar panel system too and create an efficient, energy independent system for all of your heating needs?
Home Energy Scotland don't only offer funding for air source heat pumps, they also offer grants and interest-free loans when you install a package of approved measures.
Here's what you could get if you decide to install solar panels:
- A £4,750 loan if you install solar panels as part of a package of measures, for example with an air source heat pump
- A £1,250 grant if you install solar panels as part of a package of measures, for example with a heat pump
If you’re applying for a Home Energy Scotland loan, you’ll need a quote from an installer to support your application.
