Boiler upgrade scheme

Through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, you could get a grant to cover part of the cost of replacing fossil fuel heating systems with a heat pump or biomass boiler.  

You’re eligible for a grant if all the following are true. You must: 

  • own the property you’re applying for (including if it’s a business, a second home, or a property you rent out to tenants) 
  • have installed (or plan to install) your new heating system on or after 1 April 2022 
  • be replacing fossil fuel heating systems (such as oil, gas or electric) 

You’re still eligible if you’ve already had funding to make your property more energy efficient, for example by insulating it. Your property must have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) with no outstanding recommendations for loft or cavity wall insulation.  

You can check your EPC report online, and get full details of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme on the gov.uk website
