What Is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a UK government grant programme designed to help homeowners replace fossil fuel heating systems with low-carbon alternatives such as heat pumps.
The scheme provides upfront grants to reduce the installation cost, making renewable heating more affordable.
You could receive:
- £7,500 towards an Air Source Heat Pump
- £7,500 towards a Ground Source Heat Pump
- £5,000 towards a Biomass Boiler
The grant is applied directly to your installation cost, meaning you pay less upfront.
Who Qualifies for the £7,500 Grant?
You may qualify if:
- Your property is located in England or Wales
- You own the property (homeowner or landlord)
- You are replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- The installation is carried out by an MCS-certified installer
Most older properties with gas or oil boilers qualify.
Why Install a Heat Pump?
Heat pumps are rapidly becoming the future of home heating in the UK.
Lower energy bills
Heat pumps can deliver 3–4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used, making them highly efficient.
Lower carbon emissions
Switching from gas boilers to heat pumps significantly reduces household CO₂ emissions.
Long system lifespan
Most heat pumps last 20+ years with minimal maintenance.
Future-proof your home
Government policy is moving away from fossil fuel heating systems.
