If you’re looking to reduce the cost of installing an air source heat pump, you’re in the right place! In England, Scotland, and Wales, there are government grants available to help make the transition to renewable heating systems more affordable. The amount of funding you could receive depends on where you live, with grants of up to £7,500 available (or even £9,000 for certain rural areas in Scotland).
Here’s an overview of the grants available in different regions:
If you live in England or Wales, you can apply for a £7,500 grant through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which helps cover the cost of installing an air source heat pump. This scheme is valid for installations carried out before the end of March 2028.
In Scotland, there are two schemes available:
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme and Home Energy Scotland grants are not means-tested, so you don’t need to worry about your income to qualify.
Additionally, in Scotland, you can apply for an interest-free loan of up to £7,500, which could cover the remaining costs of your installation. Some households could receive up to £15,000 in total support.
For households receiving government benefits, there are also additional grants available through the ECO4 scheme for low-income homes in Scotland and Wales.
To qualify for a grant, there are some key criteria you need to meet. You may be eligible if:
where the heat pump will be installed (this includes your home, holiday let, or small commercial property).
This ensures they meet the standards for renewable heating systems.
with an air source heat pump (it’s not available for replacing an existing heat pump).
Your property must have no outstanding loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations.
Starting May 2024, properties can still apply even if they have outstanding EPC insulation recommendations, so don’t worry if your home isn’t fully insulated yet!
