The Boiler Upgrade Scheme Explained: How to Get £7,500 Toward Your Heat Pump

If you're thinking about switching to a more energy-efficient heating system, there's never been a better time. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a government-backed grant that gives eligible homeowners and landlords up to £7,500 toward the cost of installing a low-carbon heating system like an air source heat pump.

At Pleasant Plumbers, we’ve helped customers across London claim this grant while upgrading their homes with modern, efficient, and eco-friendly heat pump systems. Here’s everything you need to know.

Launched by the UK government, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) offers financial support to households in England and Wales who want to replace fossil fuel-based heating systems (like gas, oil, or LPG boilers) with renewable alternatives.

You could receive:

• £7,500 for an air source heat pump
• £7,500 for a ground source heat pump
• £5,000 for a biomass boiler (in some cases)

To qualify:

• Your property must be in England or Wales
• You must own the property (homeowners, landlords, and small businesses are eligible)
• You must be replacing an existing fossil fuel system (e.g. gas or oil boiler)
• Your property must have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) with no outstanding loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations
