A government-backed financial incentive scheme designed to help you switch to a low-carbon heating system.
From 2025, gas boilers will no longer be installed in new build properties, and from 2035, they will be phased out of existing households. Oil boilers will be phased out sooner in 2026.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme enables anyone who retrofits an air source or ground source heat pump in a single domestic property to be eligible, provided that a recent Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)does not recommend further insulation to be installed* Self-build properties are the only newbuild installations that qualify for the scheme.
Now is the ideal time to take advantage of the government’s £5,000 grant per household, which can be used to purchase and install greener heating systems in your home.
