Boiler Upgrade Scheme: Heat Smarter, Not Harder

An Air Source Heat Pump against a brick wall

Let’s face it - upgrading your heating system sounds about as thrilling as watching paint dry. But what if we told you it could be easier, greener, and way more affordable than you think? Enter the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) - the government-backed program that’s basically your golden ticket to a warmer, more energy-efficient home. As seasoned installers, we’re here to walk you through it, minus the jargon and confusion..

What is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a whopping £450 million fund from the UK government, designed to kick old, inefficient boilers to the curb and replace them with sleek, low-carbon alternatives like heat pumps. It launched in April 2022, and it’s part of the UK’s master plan to hit net zero carbon emissions by 2050 - and guess what? We’re here to make the switch so smooth, you’ll barely lift a finger.

What’s in It for You? (AKA: The Money Bit)

The scheme dishes out chunky grants to ease the cost of installation:

Air Source Heat Pump – £7,500 grant

Here’s the kicker: the grant comes straight to us as installers, so your upfront cost gets slashed from the get-go. And no, traditional gas, oil, or electric boilers don’t make the cut - this is strictly an eco-friendly club.

Are You Eligible? Wondering if your home’s a match?

We’ll figure it out for you — but here’s a quick checklist:

Got an old fossil fuel heating system (gas, oil, LPG)?
Your home’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) doesn’t have loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations?
It’s a domestic or small non-domestic property?

New builds are generally out - unless you’re rocking a self-build project (you rebel, you).
