£7,500 towards a heat pump, deducted from your quote before you pay. £9,000 for eligible off-gas-grid homes from 21 July 2026.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a government grant, administered by Ofgem, that helps you replace a fossil fuel heating system with a heat pump. It runs until 2028.
You do not apply for it. Your installer applies on your behalf and knocks the money off the invoice before you pay, so it is a discount rather than a rebate you have to chase.
Air-to-water air source heat pump. The usual choice, and the one that heats your radiators and hot water.
Air-to-water heat pump in an eligible off-gas-grid property currently heated by oil or LPG. Available from 21 July 2026.
Ground source heat pump.
Air-to-air heat pump, residential only. This is the type that heats and cools rooms directly, like an air conditioning system.
Most Devon homes on gas, oil or LPG do. The rules are simpler than people expect.
Homeowners and landlords both qualify, in England or Wales. Second homes and rented-out properties are included.
Issued within the last ten years. There is no minimum rating, and outstanding insulation recommendations no longer block the grant.
Gas, oil, LPG or direct electric. If the property already has a heat pump, it does not qualify.
The installation has to be MCS certified. We work under an MCS umbrella scheme with our certified partner, so that is taken care of.
We survey the property and do a proper heat loss calculation. You get a fixed written quote with the grant already deducted, so the number on the page is the number you pay. If you go ahead, the grant application is made to Ofgem on your behalf by our MCS certified partner, who also designs and commissions the system. We carry out the installation.
We work under an MCS umbrella scheme, which is the framework MCS sets out for certified contractors to design and commission systems alongside the engineers who install them. Your installation is MCS certified, your grant goes through in the normal way, and your warranty and consumer protections are exactly as they would be with any certified installer.
£7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump. From 21 July 2026 that rises to £9,000 for eligible off-gas-grid properties currently heated by oil or LPG. Air-to-air heat pumps have a separate £2,500 grant for residential properties, and biomass boilers £5,000 in rural off-grid properties.
No. It is an installer-led scheme. We apply to Ofgem on your behalf and deduct the grant from your invoice before you pay, so you never handle the money or the paperwork.
Not any more. The old rule requiring outstanding loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations to be dealt with first was removed. You still need a valid EPC issued within the last ten years, but there is no minimum rating.
Yes. You need to own the property, and rented-out properties, second homes and small non-domestic buildings are all eligible.
It is currently funded to March 2028. Vouchers are allocated within each budget period, so there is no reason to leave it until the boiler dies.
Heat pump installations have to be MCS certified for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant to apply. We work under an MCS umbrella scheme with our MCS certified partner, who carries out the system design, the commissioning and the grant application to Ofgem. We do the installation. You get a fully certified installation, the full grant, and one number to ring.
