Costs by property type in Perth
Terraced and smaller homes
A compact air-source unit for a 2–3 bedroom home costs around £8,400 to £12,600 in Perth before grants. Outdoor unit placement matters in tight terraces; an installer survey confirms noise distances and pipe runs.
Semi-detached houses
A typical 3-bed semi needs a mid-size air-source heat pump, around £9,500 to £14,900 in Perth before grants. Budget extra if radiators need upsizing for lower flow temperatures.
Detached houses
Larger detached homes need bigger air-source units (£11,600 to £17,300 in Perth) or, with garden space, a ground-source system at £15,800 to £40,300. Grant support takes £7,500 off either.
What's different about Scotland
- Installed costs in Scotland run roughly 5–15% above the UK average (MCS data shows about 9% higher cost per kW for solar), with Highland and island jobs adding travel surcharges.
- A colder, wetter climate makes heating efficiency the priority, and tenement flats need shared-roof agreement before solar can go ahead.
- Scotland has its own funding: Home Energy Scotland offers a £7,500 heat pump grant (£9,000 in rural areas) plus optional interest-free loans. The England-and-Wales Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply, but the £350 OZEV charger grant does.
