The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a UK Government initiative designed to help homeowners in England and Wales replace fossil fuel heating systems with cleaner, more efficient alternatives.
Eligible homeowners can receive a grant of up to £7,500 towards the cost of installing an air source heat pump — one of the most popular and effective low-carbon heating solutions available.
The grant is applied directly by your installer, meaning you never have to handle the paperwork yourself. You simply pay the reduced amount after the grant is deducted.
Air source heat pumps qualify for the full £7,500 grant amount.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme currently applies to properties in England and Wales.
Your MCS certified installer handles the grant application on your behalf.
Heat pumps can reduce heating bills by hundreds per year compared to older systems.
Most homeowners in England and Wales are eligible. Here's what typically qualifies you for the grant.

Your property is in England or Wales
You currently use a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
No EPC needed — that requirement was removed in April 2026
You have not previously received a BUS grant for the same property
No income or means test — the grant isn't based on what you earn
