Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a Government grant scheme designed to help reduce the initial cost of installing renewable heating technologies in your home.

 

£450 million of funding has been made available over three years from 2022 to 2025.

​

The scheme was introduced to help the UK reach its target of Net Zero by 2050. The grants are available for both homes and non-domestic buildings in England and Wales.

​

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides grants for the following energy saving measures:

• Air source heat pumps (air-to-water)

• Ground source heat pumps

• Ground source heat pumps as part of a shared ground loop

• Biomass boilers

​

The level of grant depends on the technology that is being installed, as outlined below:

​

• £5000 off the cost and installation of an Air source heat pump

• £5000 off the cost and installation of a Biomass boiler

• £6000 off the cost and installation of a Ground source heat pump (including water source heat pumps)

​

To qualify for the BUS grant scheme, the work must be carried out by an MCS accredited installation company.
