Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)

Saving Money and Reducing Carbon Emissions in the UK

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a fantastic initiative by the UK government to help homeowners transition to more sustainable heating options. It provides grants of up to £7,500 to cover the cost of installing low-carbon heating systems like air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps. This not only saves you money on your energy bills in the long run but also helps reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change.

Here's what you need to know about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme:

    • Eligibility: The scheme is currently available to homeowners in England and Wales. Your property must have an existing fossil fuel heating system (gas, oil, or electric) and a valid EPC containing no recommendations for cavity wall insulation or loft insulation to be eligible.
    • Grants: You can claim up to £7,500 towards the cost of installing an eligible heat pump. The exact amount depends on the type of heat pump you choose:
        • Air source heat pump: £7,500
        • Ground source heat pump: £7,500
    • Application process: You can apply for the grant through an MCS-certified installer like yourselves. They will handle the entire process, from checking your eligibility to submitting the application and claiming the grant.

Benefits of using the Boiler Upgrade Scheme:

    • Save money on your energy bills: Heat pumps and biomass boilers are much more efficient than traditional gas or oil boilers, so you can expect to see significant savings on your heating costs.
    • Reduce your carbon footprint: These low-carbon heating systems emit significantly less carbon dioxide than traditional boilers, helping you contribute to the fight against climate change.
    • Increase the value of your property: Homes with heat pumps or biomass boilers are generally more attractive to buyers and can command a higher price.

If you're a homeowner in England or Wales considering upgrading your boiler, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a great opportunity to save money, reduce your carbon footprint, and improve your home's value.

Additional points to consider:

    • The scheme is currently running until March 2024, so it's important to act quickly if you want to take advantage of the grants.
    • There are some limitations to the scheme, so it's important to check your eligibility carefully before applying.
