Boiler Upgrades
What is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme helps you replace your fossil fuel heating with efficient, low carbon heating systems. Grants are available for air and ground source heat pumps and biomass boilers.
- It is open to people in England and Wales
- In Scotland an interest-free loan or a home energy efficiency grant may be available instead
- In Northern Ireland, you may be able to get a grant to replace your boiler
How much can you get?
The value of the grants are:
£7,500 off the cost and installation of an air source heat pump
£5,000 off the cost and installation of a biomass boiler
£6,000 off the cost and installation of a ground source heat pump
The grants help you with the upfront cost of installing the low carbon heating systems.
Types of boilers available
Grants for a hybrid heat pump system (eg a combination of gas boiler and air source heat pump) are not available.
All systems installed must meet standards including minimum efficiency levels.
The system’s maximum capacity must be less than 45kWth – anything over is not eligible.
