Boiler Upgrade Scheme

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a UK government grant that helps homeowners reduce the cost of installing low carbon heating systems such as air source heat pumps. Eligible properties can receive a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme (B.U.S) voucher, which is applied directly towards the cost of replacing an existing fossil fuel heating system.

At RT Solar, we help homeowners understand their eligibility, design suitable heat pump systems and manage the installation process from start to finish, including the £7,500 grant application.

What Is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a government backed incentive designed to encourage the adoption of low carbon heating systems. It provides a £7,500 grant towards the cost of installing an air source heat pump in eligible homes across England and Wales.

The scheme aims to reduce carbon emissions, improve home energy efficiency and support the transition away from gas, oil and LPG boilers.

What Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme Cover?

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a fixed £7,500 voucher that is applied directly towards the cost of installing an eligible heat pump system. This helps reduce the upfront cost and makes renewable heating more accessible for homeowners.

The grant is claimed by the installer and deducted from the final installation cost, simplifying the process for homeowners.
