Boiler Upgrade Scheme

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a government initiative in England and Wales designed to support the transition to low-carbon heating systems.

What The Boiler Upgrade Scheme Offers:

  • Grants of £5,000 for a biomass boiler and installation.
  • Grants of £7,500 for air source or ground source heat pumps, including water source heat pumps.

 

How The Boiler Replacement Government Scheme Works

  • Installer-led

    The scheme is installer-led, meaning your chosen installer will handle the application process on your behalf.

  • Funding

    The boiler replacement grant amount is deducted from your installation quote upfront, making it easier for homeowners to access the funding.

  • Additional Boiler Scheme Benefits

    From 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2027, installations of energy-saving materials like heat pumps and biomass boilers are eligible for 0% VAT
