Government help with the cost
Boiler Upgrade Scheme (England and Wales). A grant of £7,500 towards an air source heat pump, or £9,000 where the heat pump replaces an oil or LPG boiler, subject to eligibility. As an MCS-certified installer, we apply for this on your behalf where you’re eligible.
Warm Homes: Local Grant (England). Eligible households may get free energy-saving improvements, which can include air source heat pumps and solar panels. It’s run through local councils, and depends on eligibility and on your council having funding available. Usually your household income must be £36,000 a year or less, and your home must be privately owned with an EPC rating of D to G.
We’re happy to help with your grant application. Eligibility is decided by the scheme or your council. Scheme details are correct as of November 2026 and may change, so always check GOV.UK.
