Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) offers homeowners and landlords in England and Wales up to £7,500 off the cost of installing an air source or ground source heat pump. The grant helps reduce carbon emissions and energy bills by replacing old gas or oil boilers with modern low-carbon heating.
Unlike ECO4 and GBIS grants, which are income-based, the BUS scheme is open to all properties with a valid EPC certificate, making it accessible to most homeowners looking to switch to renewable heating.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much funding can I receive, and what does it cover?
You could get up to £7,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump. The grant is paid directly to your installer and should be deducted from your upfront cost, making your upgrade more affordable.
Do I need to apply, or will you handle everything for me?
The process is designed to be installer-led, which means we’ll take care of the complete application and paperwork on your behalf making it as hassle-free as possible.
What type of heating system do I need to have to qualify?
You must be replacing an old fossil fuel system such as gas, oil, LPG, or electric storage/panel heaters. The scheme does not cover upgrades from an existing heat pump or where there has already been similar government support.
Does my property need to meet any energy efficiency requirements?
Yes. Your property must have a valid EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) with no outstanding loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations (unless exempt). We’ll help check this for you automatically.
How long does the process take from application to installation?
Most applications are processed in a few weeks, and installation can usually be completed within 4-6 weeks after approval, although timing may vary depending on demand
