Apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
What you can get
You can get one grant per property. Current grants are available for:
-
£7,500 towards an air source heat pump (sometimes called an air-to-water heat pump)
-
£7,500 towards a ground source heat pump (including water source heat pumps and those on shared ground loops)
-
£5,000 towards a biomass boiler
-
£2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump
You cannot get a grant for a hybrid heat pump system (for example a combination of gas boiler and air source heat pump).
The system you install must meet certain standards, such as minimum efficiency levels (your installer can advise you on these).
The maximum capacity is:
- 45kWth for individual systems
- 70kWth if a heat pump is installed with one or more additional heat pumps
- 300kWth for shared ground loops

You cannot get a grant to replace a low carbon heating system.
